Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

is by having hot water spritzed all over the dishwasher with chametz in there.

And that's how the tam gets into the dishwasher.

That is not through direct fire, so it certainly would not need libon.

At the most, it would need hagala.

So how do you do hagala?

What is hagala?

So hagala would mean you have to have boiling water that hits every surface while it's still boiling.

That would be the way to do hagala properly.

The problem is that you can't really do that in your dishwasher.

The water is not going to be quite at a rolling boil if you run it even at its highest temperature.

The water is not going to quite be at a rolling boil.

So you're not going to have Haggallah in the classical sense.

So how do we justify Everkoshering?

Poskims say, just put an even melubenes in.

If you put a boiling hot brick in the bottom of the dishwasher, so that will make the water get to the point of a rolling boil, and that will work.

The problem with that is that it doesn't really seem to work.

The brick may raise the temperature of the water that's touching the brick at that moment, but it's certainly not going to raise the temperature of all the water throughout the dishwasher.

It doesn't seem that's going to work.

Those who hold that you concoct your dishwashers probably assume, like Rav Soloveitchik held, and this is the way the Aruch HaShulchan writes, that if you have a klee,

that cannot be used ever at a temperature above a certain point.
