About a month or 2 ago, the dishwasher started filling...then it would empty and "post" an OE on the screen. Of course, I googled what it could mean. Some various answers came up, but one I liked was the filter was clogged....we have very hard water, so I started spraying the filter that is inside the machine with vinegar, and after about 3 tries, the washer would run. THEN, I read on a blog that the little packets may not be the best for the washer. I ran a dishwasher cleaner and soak...but still had the problem. I ran another cleaner and soak earlier this week. On Thursday I bought the old powder kind of soap..last night I used it for the first time. The washer started the 2nd time. This morning it started the first time. Yea! Now, before I become to excited, I want to see if it will run right for say a week. Then I will be excited.
One reason I also questioned the packets, was I found that the ones I use in the laundry do not dissolve very well. I have been poking them and letting the soap out, but then I am left holding this little bit of ? plastic that goes down the drain? So, have they been slow to dissolve in the dishwasher and don't clear out thus causing an error read. I don't know, but I guess time will tell. I really do like the little packets...
That is interesting. Does the water not get hot enough to dissolve the packets?I don't even know if thats what dissolves them.
