Dishwasher help

[Lauren25]

Weve got a Beko dishwasher which we've had just over a year and for the last few months the glasses and cups are coming out covered in grit/sand like dirt.

It's got plenty of rinse aid and salt in it and I've changed the tablets a few times thinking it was that but it's not.

Does anyone know what it could be ?

My mums used to do this when it needed cleaning, she used to use something like dishwasher salt and do a wash with no dishes. Hope this helps. xxx

Yip or you can buy stuff to put in your dishwasher and run it empty on a cycle to clean it. x

As the others said hun sounds like it just needs a little clean I bought some dishwasher/washing machine cleaner from wilko's about £2/£3 for 2 treatments x

Thanks everyone but I've put a cleaner through it and it made no difference, the thing is its just the cups and glasses never the plates bowls etc

Have you physically cleaned out the filters? My mams dishwasher does this too as the filter gets bunged up with crap quite often.

WSS take the filters out and wash them - they get really gross!

I also found a thick layer of grease under my filters.

I bet you're like me - only ever the glasses and cupsbut you're a creature of habit and always load it in the same order.
