GE Appliances GDF535PSRSS how to remove white film with citric acid
When a white film covers glassware, dishware or the interior.
Steps
- Pour citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover.
- Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and dishware in the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other metal items out.
- Run the dishwasher through a complete cycle without detergent.
Instead of citric acid, pour 1 cup of vinegar into the dishwasher just after the detergent cup opens and let the cycle finish. The treatment may be repeated several times a year.
