Or, the story of how not to break your dishwasher.

First, do not think it wise to put in an old dishsoap container thinking that it will be a good way to wash it out to reuse it. If you do, the dishwasher will fill up with suds and the normal whirring sound will turn into silence when it's not supposed to. Then, you'll have to scoop out all the water that's stuck in the bottom, and don't forget the suds. You'll also have to rinse off all the dishes by hand (thereby negating the whole convenience of the dishwasher thing). Oh, and if you run an empty cycle with a cuppa vinegar that should get everything running back in order.

Believe me. I'm speaking from personal experience here.
