just so you know tablets are terrible for dishwashers... the dishwasher cant break them down 100% and they end up blocking your filtering and causing major damage..

I have had the dishwasher guy out twice because the temp sensor went.. the first time he told me not to use tablets... lol so i switched to powder.. and well cheap powder is also a big no no... he recomends finish powder only...

Bugger s4U that sucks, I have always used liquids after having issues over years with powders not dissolving properly.

We have always used finish tablets in dishwasher, we replaced the 12 year old dishwasher last year and it came with tablets!!!!!!!

The surfactant in it will be cheap and not low-suds, like it should be, hence the extra suds that are disturbing the motor function.

Cheap detergents contain cheap chemicals, cheap chemicals cause damage to machinery.
