I have a Hotpoint Aquarius DF61 model that is approx 11 years old (so ive had my moneys worth out of it really) - it still in good working order except that ive noticed the glasses and sometimes cups are left with a residue that appears to be like tiny pieces of lime scale? ive put numerous cleaning agents through the machine to clear it out (with well known products) but it doesnt make any difference - why is this? and what can I do about it? the dishwashers still going great and I dont want to spend unnecessary money out on a new one if something can be done??

Thanks Peccavi - the hazing of glassware was helpful. I'll try to re-charge the ions with a high concentration of salt, before going on to the next step.

Might also be broken down bits of food debris baked on hard during the drying process - Rinse Aid helps the crud to drain off properly.
