Kashering a Dishwasher for Passover
Question
Is it permissible to use a dishwasher on Passover?
Answer
Hello,
I assume the question is about a dishwasher that is used all year for chametz utensils.
It is not possible to kasher a dishwasher for several reasons.
The water does not reach boiling temperature
There are plastic parts that cannot be kashered.
