Dishwasher · Loading and item suitability

Can fragile items be secured with household string or wire?

Do not improvise restraints inside the dishwasher. Materials can loosen, interfere with spray movement or introduce components not intended for heat and detergent exposure.

Understanding this situation

A fragile item's own dishwasher permission is also essential. An improvised support does not make unsuitable glassware or decoration safe, and it may create a retrieval problem if it breaks.

A useful next step

Use the model's approved supports and compatible accessories only. Choose an appropriate alternative method when an item cannot be held safely. If a restraint has already come loose, stop and inspect safely rather than continuing to wash around it.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
