We had to switch from pods to liquid because the pods make way too many suds, so the emergency float shut off was getting stuck.

Source; that time I replaced my fucking dishwasher because I couldn't figure out why it kept leaking so much everywhere.

I had the opposite problem. I used the gel and the dishwasher wouldn’t completely drain. I had someone out to look at it and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I tried a pod as a last ditch effort and it worked.

I’ve since moved and use the powder with my current one, as recommended by Technology Connections, and have had good luck.
