A technician came to do a warranty repair on my dishwasher (see my previous post). He saw that we were using powder detergent and remarked that they were bad for dishwashers. I have not read anything else in this regard. Almost all of the the info on the web has to do with the relative cleaning ability of powders vs. liquids, etc. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Thanks!

Whirlpool GU2300XTVT1 Dishwasher Detergent Door Broken Tab
moto377 posted a topic in DIY Appliance Repair Help
Hello, the small plastic tab on the spring loaded detergent door recently broke and no longer engages with the latch. Hence, the door is always in the open position. A couple questions: 1. Do I have to replace the entire assembly, or is a door/cover replacement available? I believe this the assembly: https://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Whirlpool-Dishwasher-Detergent-Dispenser/WPW10605015/3023238?modelNumber=GU2300XTVT1&ss=a9b5d704515&mr=1 2. I am trying to fix the tab by bonding my own tab in place. Is there a diagnostic mode that will allow me to actuate the latch so I can confirm if my fix works without having to wait for an entire wash cycle to complete so I can see if detergent door actually opened? I would like to close the detergent flap and then open it via a diagnostic code, if possible. Thank you
