Sergeant Brian asked:


I read that chefs keep their white coats white by washing them with dishwasher powder instead of laundry detergent. The article said that this would work on all “whites” but did not say how much to use. Does anyone know how much dishwasher powder to use in an average size washing machine?

Jeremy H asked:


It is a G.E. dishwasher. I never disconnected anything electrical besides unplugging the dishwasher. That seems like a strange coincidence if this went bad right after I removed and reinstalled the dishwasher, but I don’t know what I would have done to cause this.
It is definitely not the copper pipe as water flows through this fine when disconnected. Is there any easy way to verify that it is a damaged solenoid. If so is this an easy/inexpensive fix?

Is powdered or liquid dishwasher detergent better for the good functioning and maintenance of a dishwasher? Specific brands of dishwashers or not? If I use one or the other for the good of my dishwasher, will I have to sacrifice clean dishes? Does one or the other clean dishes better?

Whirlpool Dishwasher approximately 10+ years old.

Water laying inside the dishwasher.

Was midway through the first wash cycle.

Dishwasher does have power to it, but when you move the dial to different settings, it does not turn on.

Just had a new drain (for sink and dishwasher) installed by a plumber.

Could the drain be plugged/not hooked up? Could the motor just have gone?
dishwasher drains directly into pipe, not through garbage disposal.

connections between dishwasher and electric are tight (not a loose wire)

I had a new disposal installed. I saw the plumber removed the knockout plug in disposer. But when I run the dishwasher, the water came out from the right lower underside of dishwasher. Anyone knows what’s going on?
It’s not leaking all time. When I run the cycle, it leaks for a couple of minutes and then everything is fine. It only leaks from right lower underside. Weird.

Hi I have a dishwasher that I have had for a few years and the lid of where you put the tablets in has came off. (it wasnt actually new when i got it) so I was wondering if i can just put the dishwasher tables in the bottom of the dishwasher or would it not work properly.

I have a Hotpoint dishwasher that isnt installed in the counter. The model # is HDB720-01. My dishwasher works and makes the noise and sounds like the water is running through it but none of the dishes are wet when it is finished. What could be wrong?

The little compartment where you put the powder has a couple of prongs in it, so I couldn’t put a dishwasher tablet in there. Is it ok to just drop it in the dishwasher? I’ve had the dish-draws for ages but have never been game to try.. silly hey !
