So I am ridiculously stupid and used handwashing dish soap in the dishwasher when I run out of the Cascade power/dry detergent. Naturally, I didn't have the adjectives sense to realize it would overflow. Once the bubbles spilled onto the floor, I turned the dishwasher off and begin sopping up the water on my floor near towels. After a while, I opened the dishwasher and sprinkled table saline all over the bubbles which deflated most of them. I bailed the remaining marine and bubbles out of the dishwasher with a bucket. There are still a few little bubbles contained by the drain in the middle. I used A LOT of brackish. Now I can't get the dishwasher to run time of year. Is it the salt clogging it? Is it the bubbles? Am I only a moron? (Ha, the answer to that one is YES.) Does anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
What could be wrong next to it?
Answers: Since you stopped in contained by the middle of a cycle, it may take a while for the timer to finance to where you can speak about that is is doing anything. If you own a manual timer, turn it to the start of a fresh cycle. If it is electronic, press the "reset" button to start a new cycle.
If it still foams like mad, try vegetable oil or solution fabric softener to "kill" the bubbles.
Once you get hold of rid of all the bubbles, run an extra empty cycle near Cascade to clean out the saline, oil, etc.

Bail most of the dampen out and let it run a cycle empty- no dishes, no soap
