Alright. I am going to try an experiment: I'll get another brand of dishwasher pods and try one of those. I'll tell you all here what happens and we'll take it from there. If it's different, I'll contact the maker of the pod detergent and send them what I have recovered and ask them what gives with them! I'll let you all know if they respond and what they say...
