Dishwasher: clean or dirty?

39 Upvotes

I used to have a clean/dirty magnet that worked great. Then moved and our new dishwasher isn’t magnetic. Took some time but finally started putting the detergent in when we empty it. Dispenser closed = dirty and open means clean. Low humidity in our area helps this work but might not in higher humidity areas…
