Do all dishwasher tablets need their wrapper removed?

No. Packaging differs, so read the current product's instructions. Some wrappers are intended to dissolve while others must be removed before use.

Understanding this situation

The appliance cannot make an unsuitable outer wrapper disappear reliably. Conversely, peeling or cutting a product not intended to be opened can cause unnecessary exposure to concentrated detergent.

A useful next step

Handle and place the tablet as instructed, keeping hands and storage conditions appropriate to the product. If packaging remains after a wash, identify what it was before diagnosing a dispenser fault. Keep detergents away from children and do not mix products.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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