I would also be very careful using anything with abrasives in the dishwasher as it may grind away the carbon and ceramic water seal in the pump. The resulting seal leak can ruin the motor and many other parts under the machine. Ruined motors from water seal leaks are one of the most frequent reasons that people replace DWs as it can cost a lot to fix, its like having bad bearings in a FL washer. My brother had an early 1980s WP DW that had developed a slight squealing noise from the pump seal and noticed that after cleaning a lot of items with BonAmi cleanser and putting them through the DW for the final cleaning the squalling sound was gone, so we figured that the abrasives in the cleanser had re-honed the water seal. I have used this trick since then to eliminate seal squeal but would be careful about doing it to often. |
