Another dishwasher question: soap dispenser not working; can I put the pod in the dishwasher?

Wait, were you one of my college roommates?

I’m sure the genius, then fail, then genius of Dawn in the dishwasher has been independently discovered many times. Our floors were never so clean before or since.

My dishwasher (Bosch) did the same, and I needed to clean the dispensing slot. Turns out it could be removed pretty easily, and it grooves and tracks that had gunked up a bit. Cleaning helped a huge amount, and I’ve not found an undissolved tablet after a wash since the cleaning, but sometimes the door doesn’t open all the way. It seems to open enough, though. At some point I’ll probably replace the soap dispenser assembly.

If you already have a service appointment set, you might prefer to just let them mess with it.

No thread about dishwashers would be complete without:
