The hazard is that the chlorine concentration is too high and poses a risk of chemical contamination on the dishes. Concentrations above 200 ppm can leave residues that are unsafe for human consumption and can cause harmful effects if ingested. The dishwasher should stop washing and adjust the chlorine concentration to a safe level before continuing.
A chlorine concentration of 500 ppm is much higher than the safe limit for dishwashing, which is typically around 50-100 ppm. Continuing to wash dishes with this high chlorine concentration can pose health risks due to potential chemical burns, skin irritation, or respiratory issues for the dishwasher. It is important to immediately stop using the sink, thoroughly rinse and drain the sink, and then re-measure the chlorine concentration before resuming dishwashing.
The required concentration of chlorine sanitizer when hand washing is usually between 50-100ppm (parts per million) for a contact time of at least 7-15 seconds. It is important to follow guidelines provided by health authorities or regulatory bodies to ensure effective sanitization.
It is not recommended to use dishwasher detergent in the washing machine for clothes because dishwasher detergent is formulated differently and may not dissolve properly, leading to poor washing results or damaging the washing machine. It is best to use detergent specifically designed for laundry to ensure effective cleaning and protect your clothes and machine.
A dishwasher may leave an odor on dishes due to a buildup of food particles and residue inside the dishwasher itself. This can transfer to the dishes during the washing cycle. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the dishwasher, such as using a dishwasher cleaner and ensuring proper drainage, can help prevent this issue.
No, it is not recommended to use laundry detergent in your dishwasher. Laundry detergent is designed for use in washing machines and can create excess suds in a dishwasher, potentially leading to leaks or other issues. It is best to use a dishwasher detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.

Between 60 and 71˚C for washing, and 82 or higher for at least ten seconds to sanitize. You can also sanitize at low temp if you use chemicals (e.g. 100ppm chlorine).

A solenoid in a dishwasher controls the flow of water by using an electric current to open and close a valve. When the dishwasher is in the washing cycle, the solenoid is activated to allow water to flow into the dishwasher. When the cycle is complete, the solenoid closes the valve to stop the flow of water.
Running the dishwasher typically saves water compared to hand washing dishes, as dishwashers are designed to use water more efficiently.
Yes, washing knives in the dishwasher can dull them over time due to the high heat, harsh detergents, and the movement against other utensils during the wash cycle.
You can put the washing powder in the designated detergent compartment of your washing machine, following the manufacturer's instructions. Usually, it is a separate drawer in the detergent dispenser. Remember not to overload the compartment to ensure proper washing performance.
