The factory rep for my new dishwasher said the reason the dishes aren't getting clean is because the dishwasher powder I am using is "expired". He said that to test dishwasher powder, pour a small amount in your hand and drip cold water on it. If the powder doesn't get warm in your hand, he says, then it has expired - meaning it won't work as a detergent in the machine.
He also said that dishwasher powders have an "expiration date" stamped on the box, but it is coded by the manufacturer so you can't tell how old the box is when you buy it.
I can imagine solutions to this (liquid soap, higher water temp, pre-rinsing, etc.), but I am amazed about the expiration thing. Ever heard of this?

If manufactured products have an expiration date, it is clearly marked. The rep is full of sh!t. It sound like he doesn't want to honor a warranty agreement.

i might. uncomplicated water would not wreck electronics. yet, you are going to need fairly warm water with the intention to soften the wax, and which will in all probability break the plastic strip that makes your keyboard artwork. as quickly as, as quickly as I had a keyboard that some thing became spilled in, I in simple terms popped all of the keys off, took out the plastic element with all of the connections and washed it off. Then I positioned all of it decrease back at the same time and it labored great. you will desire to in all probability try this, the wax would desire to pop off the plastic in case you bend it.

Noooo, and I would think we do not want anything to heat up when water is added - imagine what that could do to your dishes.
Are you sure he was not thinking about Draino!!!!!
I woud not worry about that - was he trying to sell you his own brand perhaps.
