How do I get rid of soap scum residue in my dishwasher. It is not even cleaning the dishes any longer and it leaves soap scum all over everything.

First, you should check the drain trap at the bottom of the dishwasher. Then, using some white vinegar, scrub down all surfaces, including the baskets, etc, and the soap dispenser. Afterwards, do this at least every six months. I rehabbed a monster dishwasher doing this, and so far so good.

Our water softener went bad and the hard water made a mess of our new dishwasher and dishes before we realized the problem. We got the water softener repaired, then used the Finish dishwashing product that cleans dishwashers. It did a great job.
You have got to use "Lemi-Shine" in your dish washer. This stuff works miracles with our hard water in Florida. My dishes come out squeaky now and no film. You can buy it at Walmart and Publics by the dish washer detergent or the dish washer cleaner.
We were having this problem too. I switched to the hot water option on the washer and now our dishes look great! No added chemicals on my dishes, just hot water. Yay.
