Alright. I am going to try an experiment: I'll get another brand of dishwasher pods and try one of those. I'll tell you all here what happens and we'll take it from there. If it's different, I'll contact the maker of the pod detergent and send them what I have recovered and ask them what gives with them! I'll let you all know if they respond and what they say...

No idea. I don't use them. SheltieLover Saturday #6

Maybe try a non pod dishwasher detergent? SheltieLover Yesterday #29

I guess I could try one. However, the pods are convenient and small which are good in a small apt. CTyankee 22 hrs ago #35

Have you run the dishwasher with nothing in it? johnp3907 Yesterday #26

Looks like four feet that were attached to the bottom of a cutting board, jgo Yesterday #27

What kind of dishwasher is it. Brand and model. Approximate age too please. bottomofthehill Yesterday #28

Frigidaire. Probably new but I don't know for sure. And only one of these things appear at a time. CTyankee Yesterday #32
