# If the walls of the dishwasher are made out of plastic or porcelain, many hold that one cannot kasher the dishwasher. <Ref> Rav Hershel Schachter (“Kashering the Kitchen for [[Pesach]]” min 13-15) said that dishwashers which have a plastic or porcelain walls can not be kashered for [[Pesach]], however, the stainless steel ones can kashered but one must be sure to remove all the particles of chametz stuck in the drain. Halachos of [[Pesach]] (p. 175) agrees. See, however, Yalkut Yosef (451:11) who writes that dishwashers can be kashered by cleaning it well and running an empty cycle with soap. </ref>
