You can buy Cascade with phosphate from restockit.com because they supply commercial customers but not in your local walmart. Read the label on your dish soap and see if it does not contain phosphate before you buy a new dishwasher.
Of course, I didn't learn all this until after I bought a new dishwasher and still had the film problem.
Heads up, the EPA's next infringement on your freedom will be the banning of granulated rat poison like D-con in June 2011. They say inner city kids are eating it so they have to take it off store shelves.
The good news is they are supposed to have an exemption for farmers.
What I don't understand is.... does the EPA not care about farm kids or are they just smart enough not to eat rat poison?
The nanny state coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Geez, you'd think w/food stamp programs...
Guess its the lack of phosphates? My box says sodium carbonate & sodium silicate & enzymes.
This happened all at once, no slightly cloudy then more so then ack. The dishes are covered in probably unrinsed cleaner. So I'm thinking a hose is clogged (there's a rinse hose?) like Kasilofhome said. But wondering why a couple runs w/vinegar helped, then? I'll do that again...w/o the dry cycle. Maybe its eating up the clog? There's no way I'm getting under the sink & unhooking anything...  I'll make DH take another look...
Oh, & my cascade doesn't say "phosphate free".
