Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

So Rav Moshe writes that you can never clean the racks because stuff gets stuck in the racks.

I don't know, I've had some dishwashers in different places where I've lived

I've never had a problem with that.

I've never seen any chametz stuck on any rack, ever.

I don't know.

Maybe they made the racks differently in the times that Rav Moshe was writing that tshuva.

I don't know how serious a concern that is.

We're serious concerns by the filter, that some chametz gets stuck in the filter, so you'd want to just clean out the filter.

But once you do that, and you look at the dishwasher, and it's basically clean, assuming that you're allowed to kasher plastic for Pesach, that you're allowed to kasher plastic at all, and then assuming that you're even allowed to kasher it for Pesach,

And assuming, like the sheet of Rav Salveichik, that Kabbalah, Kach Polta, could be relied on when it comes to this kind of kashering, it would seem to me that there is what to rely on with kashering a dishwasher without using any hot bricks or without anything else, but again, by turning up the hot water tank.

And I think it's important to realize that this sheet exists mostly because it's a huge, huge quality of life difference for a woman who's making Pesach.

to be able to wash the dishes in an easier way.

So it's important to realize that there is such a sheeta that allows for such things.

Regardless, you know, all the books that tell you what to do, what not to do, they're expressing a sheeta.

And you should just realize that sometimes there's more than one sheeta.

So sometimes they'll tell you you can never ever cash your dishwasher.

That's possible.

That's a sheeta.

That's an opinion.

They'll tell you you can cash your dishwasher if you fill it with hot bricks.
