Kashering a Dishwasher for Passover
Question
I have a dishwasher that I use all year round. Is there a way to kasher it for Passover?
Answer
No.
Source
It is explained in the Taz that a primary vessel requires immersion in boiling water, and we do not say that as it absorbs, so it expels, regarding the temperature it absorbed. Therefore, it is not possible to run the dishwasher empty and kasher it, as the dishwasher only reaches a temperature of seventy degrees.
