Should a tablet always be thrown into the dishwasher base?

No. Use the dosing location specified by the appliance and product instructions. The dispenser can be designed to release detergent at a particular stage.

Understanding this situation

Putting it elsewhere may change when it dissolves and how much remains for the intended wash. A social-media shortcut is not a universal correction for a dispenser or programme issue.

A useful next step

Check the exact model guidance. If detergent is not releasing normally, describe the loading, product and final position. Do not bypass a suspected fault by removing dispenser parts or scattering extra tablets through the tub.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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