Also disgusting. I tried a rinse aid on a new washer without a heating element, and instead of simply covered in water they were now also slick to the touch. They also stank with a headache inducing chemical smell. I'd end up having to hand rinse them. In the end I figured out I needed to move my dishwasher a half inch forward to make steam ventilation easier. I also try to remember to prop open the door when the cycle's over to vent even more steam to get top shelf plastic items dryer than my previous dishwasher with a heating element.
