HELP! Dishwasher leaving gritty stuff on dishes

[HotI]

As soon as i read your first post, i thought Rinse Aid. When our dishwasher starts to get gritty we know it is running low. It definately does stuff.

Do you need rinse aid with tablets?

Yep! i think some of them claim you don't need rinse aid if you use tablets, but ours never works properly without it. With both, it works great.

when we got our FP, it actually said in the paperwork that it isn't suggested to use tablets in that model of dishwasher - not sure if it's all FP dishwashers, but it definitely said it for ours. i'm pretty sure there was just a blockage in our rinse aid dispenser - we had this problem maybe 5 months back, and nothing since then...
