I have to say, I'd never heard about cleaning your dishwasher.

Or this one:

"A faulty appliance can send surges of electricity into your home's electrical system and the resulting damage can range from a tiny bit of wear and tear on other appliances to a destructive electrical fire."

Or 7, 8, 11, 39, 40, and 47.

Cleaning my dishwasher means rinsing out or sometimes replacing the dish
cloth.

First clue, when something requires you to flip through 51 slides,
it's probably mostly BS to get you to look at advertising. Many times
they have a great teaser to lure you in, then that's only on the last slide.

As for a faulty appliance creating surges that destroy something else,
it's theoretically possible, but I've never seen it happen. And all
appliances have built in surge protection to limit any voltage spikes
so that they won't damage the appliance. Usually that damage comes
from surges due to lightning on either AC or communication lines.

Cleaning a dishwasher, you can do with a cycle using about 1/4 cup of
citric acid added in. It's the main component of the expensive DW
cleaning products.

This is not the only group she posts click bait to and she's been told more
than once most people aren't fond of scrolling through page after page after
page.

My dishwasher is attached to the ends of my arms; they're called hands.
