We do not guarantee your results or that you will not damage your LEGO pieces or your dish washer. Like any new skill you learn on the internet, check multiple sources and form your own intelligent opinions and then proceed with caution.
It is important to turn off the dry setting on the dish washer so that any pieces that fall in the bottom do not get warped or melted by the heating element.
We prefer to only wash pieces that have at least one edge that is 16 studs or longer. An 8x16 plate is generally the smallest piece we will wash in a dish washer.
We load them like you would plates and bowls - in rows with proper spacing. We do not place mesh bags of LEGO pieces in the dishwasher because it is unlikely they will all get cleaned.
Interestingly, LEGO specifically discourages washing their products in a dish washer, but that is probably because they don't want to deal with people who don't read instruction and then complain loudly.
