- In this video, I talk to you about dishwasher detergent that is not dissolving, and I specifically tell you how to fix it. I am specifically talking about the dishwasher detergent pods that aren't dissolving, and I tell you about the potential causes for this happening and how to solve the problem. I also tell you about my own personal experience with a dishwasher pod not dissolving during a dishwasher cycle, and how I ended up fixing it!

please speak a bit more loudly. My neighbors could barely hear you
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
How bout you turn your phone down? You came here needing help and that's the comment you have? Smh
@@Chef_boyrgangsta 1. Not using my phone 2. Volume is fine for EVERY OTHER video. Question is, WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING???? Hey, if you can't take a little critique, maybe you shouldn't make videos....At least 27 people agreed with me so you are WAY outnumbered....
😂😂😂🤣🤣
Thanks so much mate! We live in a tropical zone but had a cold snap and the water was not feeding in hot so causing the issue. You helped greatly from preventing a costly call out!
Matt Foley came from his van down by the river to make a YT tutorial. Things are really looking up for him.
I stopped using the pods and went back to the powder. I find for me it just works better. Thanks for sharing.
I will be looking for a liquid.
@@thelouisejust the liquid will dry up and cake on if the temp isnt warm enough. Been there..was frustrated by that. :)
I have tried powder stick in all the drainage holes. I just picked them all out. I filled a snack size zip lock! I vacuumed the rest of the chunks out. I was told to put two cups of vinegar and ran the washer on regular with dry heat. It looks really clean now! I’m in drought ridden California so I had been using water saver mode and air dry. I really think I need to use the regular hotter mode every two weeks, and switched to liquid.
Modern dishwashers have a 'shelf' on the front of the top tray whose sole purpose is to actually catch the pod/tablet - these shouldn't actually reach the bottom of the cabinet itself.
When it is operating, what happens is that the top hole on both outside edges of the rotor arm pass under the tablet/pod and spray it with hot water. This dissolves the cleaning material to release the detergent, etc, into the cabinet. The most obvious thing, then, is to work out why this process isn't taking place and the obvious thing is that these two holes are blocked and are not actually spraying.
It's a simple solution (but takes a bit of work) - you have to remove the rotor arm and clean it out. I used a thin skewer (but any probe will do) to loosen the material inside the hole and the arm, I forced water through the hole to backwash the arm and I even blew through the hole, repeating all the processes until I had cleared/cleaned the whole arm out. I was surprised at the amount of food debris and even small bits of plastic.
The temperature of the water entering the machine shouldn't be a problem as the machines usually have a built in heater to bring the water up to temperature. However, if you live a few thousand feet up a mountain there may be a problem with the water boiling at a lower temperature! Or if the thermostat is faulty.
Thank you. i couldnt listen to this guy trying to blow peoples eardrums. highly annoying voice and not funny if that was the attempt
You sound alot more reasonable than the screaming guy. Mine is 2 years old and had been working fine and suddenly the soap pod is laying undissolved in the bottom of the washer and the dishes are still dirty. I'll give that arm a look
Love the enthusiasm!
My Dishwasher is not fully dissolving the tablet. Thanks for making this video, will go through the trouble shooting steps and see what the issue is... I suspect its putting the cutting board up against the side of the loading tray (as you described!). Will up date this if I get it resolved
Once you mentioned the cutting board, my palm smacked my forehead. Thanks you👍🏽
Thanks! I think my family is putting too much stuff and improperly loading the dishwasher. I use liquid now as I heard from a dishwasher repair guy that the pods have a plastic that doesn't completely dissolve, so it may clog up the jets. 🤷
I was told to no use liquid for dishwashers because they create leaks
My guy! Thank you so much for this video. So glad I watched the whole video to work out that I was obstructing the dispenser with a chopping board…. 4 washes later 😅 cheers dude!
Thanks for this video! Does anyone else have this problem - My tablet seems to be getting wet in the dispenser and sticking there. I wonder if it is getting wet before the hatch has popped open? Problem with the dispenser hatch seal perhaps?
this is happening to me too, any solution??
@@dylb88 Actually I feel quite foolish. I had a plastic dishwasher freshener hanging from the top shelf, right in front of the tablet hatch, so it must not have been opening properly, even it didn't look as if it was in the way! Moved that, and problem fixed! So do double check that nothing is stopping the hatch from opening properly.
But in the meantime, if you're still having issues, I read somewhere that it could be that the pressure from the top jets is not enough to 'wash out' the open hatch, so check all water openings in that are not blocked. Good luck.
Yep. Still looking for. Solution. Could be improper loading. Could be running water from another source diverting hot water from dishwasher or water heater not produce enough hot water.
Yes that’s exactly what’s happening to mine. And then all my dishes feel gritty.
My guy, why are you screaming
Your hot water theory was my issue. Thank you
This was super helpful, thanks.
Run your hot water into container so you don’t waste the hot water first to make sure it is coming in. Coat dishwasher pod with dish liquid after placing in dispenser. Makes it easier for pod to slip out when door opens.
Thank you were spot on that helped. 👍
Thanks! The dishwasher has worked for years but for some reason the pods aren't dissolving lately. I tried the kitchen faucet method and that worked! I guess the water just wasn't getting hot enough.
you know you're in Canada when you have a tim hortons cup in your dishwasher lol
Also, the way he speaks. Music to my eastern Michigander's ears!
You woke up my baby😂
Thanks this video was helpful
Well I’m glad I stayed till the end ! I definitely put a cutting board right there where you said . Next time I won’t do it anymore and see if that was the problem!
Thanks, ill give it a try!
It worked!
If the pod dispenser door doesn't open, just put the pot anywhere inside and start the machine. It will work the same way.
I end up doing this too. I wonder will it be wasted in a prewash rinse rather than the deeper wash cycle though?
@@karenjs15 nah.. they know a lot of ppl cant even fit those cubes into the dispenser and throw them in. The crystals (at least some of them) are meant to take awhile to dissolve for that very reason.
It actually won’t clean your dishes as effectively if you just throw it in
The way u said heyy everybodyeeeee at rhe beginning!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thanks dude you solved my dishwashing problem- hot water!
Good info; but seems to be yelling all the time. Thinking I am not placing pod properly.
Foaming (diposits) salt in dishwasher and on dishesh.... Salt is filled 8 months back but still salt light not blinking any solution please
Thank you so much
And what if I've eliminated all those causes, AND made sure filters are totally clear and spray arms also clear and running freely? What else?
Supposedly I had a large spoon blocking the ejector
Change your detergent, use a different brand.
Exactly what I needed!
Anyone else’s girlfriend yelling at them about the pods and you know nothing about dishwashers?!
Honestly just put the pod in the little rack container for the silverware
That’s we’ve been doing fir the past ten years. Clean dishes every time.
You are incorrect in your thought process when you say the dishwasher pod gets stuck in the handle of the middle rack. The unit is actually designed to have the dishwasher pod release in to the middle rack handle compartment. The pressure from the spray arms (when not blocked) actually accurately breaks down the dishwasher pod evenly throughout the wash cycle vs just dropping it in to the bottom of the dishwasher like other brands. Please correct this thought process in your video so that Bosch customers don't think it is wrong. Thank you.
Why the shouting?
Thanks, trying one step now...crossing my fingers
That moment when your neighbors throw a brick through your window because they want to here you scream a lot clearer...
Feels like he's trying to channel the "lives in a van down by the river" skit. I thought it was a bit to open the video, but nope.
The pod ended up in the handle of the middle rack, so it think the dispenser is opening late in the cycle.
Update: the pod dissolved with the latest washing, so I ( 🤞) think it’s fixed.
Mine does the same. Did this work for you?
@@emanuelhills9585 In January, the pump needed repair for $300.00, then in May, it was the heater for $400.00. I decided to save the $400 and apply it toward a new dishwasher. Very disappointed in Bosch, as it always gets top reviews. My daughter had constant repairs with their Bosch (my SIL is handy with repairs), and they gave up and got a new dishwasher. They’d had theirs less time than I’d had mine. Bosch parts come from Germany, so are expensive and hard to get.
@@dale3404 that’s where I’m at. I rather spend the money to get a new one. I tried the steps but still having the same issues
@@dale3404 thank you for your response
thanks saul
the issue I have is the door where the pod goes won’t open.. if I just use the pod without putting it in the dispenser thing will it work fine?
If you put it in the flatware caddy that’s filled with the most flatware, it will work.
Why isn't anyone mentioning dishwasher doesnt get hot water?They have an element that heats the water.
Same. This dude is talking about externally giving hot water as an input to dishwasher. But now a days dishwasher themselves heat the water inside and there is no temperature gauge. There are just pre defined settings with pre defined temperatures.
I think I should try using some other dishwasher detergent. And if that also not work then I will try liquid detergent.
Dishwashers are hooked to the hot water line and are fed by your water heater (in most cases) and not the cold water line for a reason. The heating element is there to bring already hot water to even higher Temps. The heating elements are not designed to heat cold water. Therefore your comment is incorrect and misleading. Too little of hot water can prevent the heating elements from increasing the temp of the water high enough to dissolve the pods.
@@LebannersHook you don't know what you're talking about. I've been installing dishwashers for 20+ years. Until a couple of years ago they had cold water running to them. Nothing has changed other than the use of dissolving tablets that work better with hot water. You're out of your league.
@@theacguy9546 hahaha, you are something. Bruh.... you been hooking them up wrong then. You are trolling right?
From Maytag website, "Dishwashers are connected to your home's hot water connection. Dishwashers can run with cold water, but it is not advised. Cold water will not wash dishes properly and could leave behind food and soap residue."
From Bestbuy's website, "Your dishwasher will heat the water by itself but it's best to run the cold water out of the hot water line before you push start."
From LG install guide, "The recommended water supply temperature is 120°F."
From Electrolux, "Almost all of our machines will connect to hot or cold water, please always check the installation manual for further information.
If your machine is connected to a cold water supply, it will heat the water itself.
You can connect to a hot water supply to decrease energy consumption..."
Almost all dishwashers can be hooked to hot water. In other countries outside of the USA models that can use only cold water are more common but still not the norm. A cold supply line reduces efficiency and can cause detergent to not dissolve properly or sanitize properly. Can you hook to a cold line. Yes, in a few models. Should you?... only if you have no other choice, ie. No hot water supply or water heated from solar to save your hot water -or- on the RARE models that can ONLY accept cold water. Find me a model that can't use hot water.
You've been doing a hack job at installing dishwashers and instead of researching the misinformation you spew and are made aware of you confidently back it up, lol. Hey, I think some of the comments are your previous install jobs wondering why their cold water supplied dishwasher isn't working right 🤔 😕 😆
@@theacguy9546 oh and dishwashers have been able to use hot water supply lines when stainless steel replaced the old vinyl lined insides... decades ago. This guy said a few years, lol. So we had cell phones before we had hot water supply to dishwashers?... what a clown. 😆
"Nothing has changed other than the use of dissolving tablets"
Wrong again, read above about the transition from vinyl lined insides to stainless.
I had a water bottle blocking the pod the whole time. Dont i feel smart
Hey everybody 😋
Can I just throw the damn pod in the bottom?
if you do, it will dissolve in the 'pre wash' and rinse away and when the main wash starts you'll have no soap
Put it in the flatware caddy. This will work. Try it.
Luv this guy!
Great tips, although our issue was with Cascade liquid, not pods. My wife was putting a 9" skillet near the front and it would have a detergent smear on the edge and most of the detergent oozing out of the cup. My conclusion was that the skillet was blocking the pathway, backed up by the fact that a small amount got on the edge. Even with that issue, our LG 3-shelf unit still left everything clean, except that skillet. We'll confirm my theory next time we do a cycle.
you forgot 1 more cause. the circulator pump
Modern dishwashers save water, save electricity, save the planet. Cleaning dishes? Optional...That part is not covered by regulations.
Sir, this did not help my dishwasher issue at all. Nevertheless I feel motivated TO GO OUT AND GRAB LIFE BY THE HORNS!
😂
Bro !!!! NEVERMIND NEXT VIDEO!!
Captions work great
My dish washer wasn't working for 6 weeks .because she got covid but she recovered and thankfully I have clean dishes now
My pod dissolves but our dishes have this powder residue left over
Might be a dirty filter. Check out filter maintenance for your dishwasher. Also pick out the jets and make sure they are free of debris
mine is beyond 10 yrs old, and my apt complex don't wanna replace it, and keeps making excuses, i don't think its me loading incorrectly i think its really old
@@GlaciusDreams i have a really old model and not sure where it is, to clean it
@@jenniferhill6063buy dishwasher machine cleaning tablets. If you’ve never used these, run two cycled on the pots and pans cycle twice. Make sure you’ve cleaned out the filter in the bottom floor. You’ll need a toothbrush and dishwashing liquid. This should help immensely.
How many times can you say OK in a shorter video
Did that dishwasher arrive on a truck in Canada? You should thank them.
slow it down to .25X speed. You'll thank me later.
Thank you charlie kelly voice double
I was looking for this comment 😂
But why are you screaming?
This guy has a video for everything?
Has anyone ever told you you sound like Gary, vee Gilbert Gottfried, and Jordan Peterson combined?
X2 speed is a must
He reminds me of my ex repairman....
I really wanted to fix my dishwasher but your voice made me kill myself before I could
Is that your normal talking voice? I had to stop the video when you started talking. Damn!
Better Call Saul sound effect
Your blister is causing sympathetic pain but great vid
Ah! Not eating its bean.
Put a circulation pump in your home dude
I'm sure this video had helpful advice but not even 10 seconds in I want to change the video. Any grown dude sounding like that was either dealt a bad hand or didn't know how to make the best out of a hand.
Stop screaming dude. This is a dishwasher video. Not car sales
Gary V and Seth Rogans brother
Thank you so much was very helpful but without screaming please 😅
Why do you sound like Saul Goodman?
That’s him
Why are you soooo loud
Couldn’t watch this as the guy is too annoying, speak normally
Is it just me or does this guy sound like Brennan Lee Mulligan?
Hey it's detergent.... not meth!
Dude you gotta calm the f down
No need to be such a character just provide the information needed.
Thanks for the information.
You’re way too loud though!
Dudes hot
Painful..
to slow of voice
why do you shout? is it necessary?
Why are you yelling?????????
Painful to watch 😅
This guy 😐
too hyper.
God, annoying doesn't begin to describe your voice.
Why are you yelling? Had to turn it off after 5 seconds
this guy spent 3 minutes talking about hot water lol waste of time
I made it half way and I’ll get answers through a different video. The yelling is ridiculous.
Bruh, sorry but the overt enthusiasm in your voice is a bit obnoxious.
You can just talk normal and not yell so freaking loud which makes watching your video an absolute CRINGE!
Then don't watch. Just fuck 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Good info.. but dude.. the delivery and volume... you're way to hyper about this, video unwatchable.
Ug couldn’t finish, annoying
This guy was too full of themselves he wants to hear himself talk
