It won't flood, but if you put dishwashing soap (not dish*washer* soap) in it, you'll have bubbles and a mess everywhere. - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:42 6
- K, that puts my concerns to rest. (The dishwasher cycle got stopped more than halfway through, but I don't know how much more) - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:43 5
  - You should run your dishwasher once a month empty, with no soap, and pour a bunch of white vinegar in the bottom of the machine and let it run. - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:46 4
    - I do this with CLR. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 16:48
    - Never heard of doing this; how much is a "bunch"? -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:47 2

  - wasn't there a link posted here about this, involving a stabbing? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:57 1
    - Hee, yes! -- nm - mara Feb 6, 17:02
- Oh, you have a natural gas fireplace? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:42
(So, based on that ... either the dish soap breaks the seal, or lacks a thickening agent. Yeah! Dishwashers use thick water! get upset about THAT!) - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:39 3
- Dish soap creates foam, which tends to find a way through the seal.......trust me on this :) - MojaveMeg Feb 6, 16:41 2
  - oh yes it does. -- nm - loosilu in hibernation Feb 6, 17:38
