CLOROX (TM reg) DOES NOT RECOMMEND the use of any liquid bleach product in a DISHWASHER. This is per a detailed discussion with a tech support lady at their 800 number [1-800-292-2200]. She explained that unlike clothes washing machines, diswashers do NOT have rubber and plastic seals and parts which would be resistant to the bleach. Therefore, the bleach will attack, and over time, damage and eventually destroy those seals, resulting in water leakage, and expensive replacement. I had thought that I had heard, over the years, that one could use liquid laundry bleach to disinfect a diswasher, but apparently, I was wrong. I quizzed her in depth, and could not get her to budge in Clorox's warning to NOT use bleach in a dishwasher. Therefore, I suggest not doing this, but if you "just gotta do it," do so at your own risk, and with forewarning,j3h.

Commercial dishwashers take about 15 minutes before it starts to wash. 5 minutes to fill the 10 gallon tub and 10 minutes for it to heat up the water. Each load uses only 2 gallons of water or less. After 6 hours of usage, it’s time to drain the dirty and greasy water, clean the tank and refill with fresh water. So your answer is: 10 plus 2 = 12 gallons. Add 2 more gallons after each load. These dishwasher can run 24/7.

Remove the plastic cap as much as you can. Pull gently or leave it alone. Don’t scrape it off. It will damage the heating element. Unload the dishwasher and set those dishes aside. If you can bi pass the wash cycle and set it to dry cycle only, let it run for 20 minutes or longer. It will burn out the rest of the plastic smell and eventually go away. If this doesn’t work, run the dishwasher empty. More than likely the element is used to heat water and dry dishes. Once the smell is gone, rewash the previous load with detergent.

The problem may not be the dishwasher. All dishwashers should be on its own 20 amp breaker and hard wired. Even portable units that use a plug should be on its own circuit line but often not. If the dishwasher is tied into other appliances or plugs, it can over load and trip the breaker. If this is the only you can run the dishwasher, shut the breaker off and see what else is turned off and avoid leaving them on while dishwasher is running. Hopefully it’s not the refrigerator!
