dishwasher not cleaning properly

Tea_Bag

its a zanussi zsf6126, and its recently started leaving residue on all the dishes, especially glasses. the residue is fine sandy hard stuff.

I've cleaned the filter and the salt is fully topped up. is there anything else I can do? can't really afford to get it serviced.

I've heard of an inlet valve. is this worth replacing, can I do it myself, and are they all the same? would this fix it? can I just pick up one in a hardware store or online or something that'll work?

is there a strong cleaner that I can get that'll deep clean it properly?

make sure the salt cap is tight . the salt could be coming during the wash and drying onto the glasses and cups during the drying cycle
