any parts degreaser solvent recommendations NOT gasoline

[Eric_R_Kissell at whirlpool.com]

Most materials used in a residential dishwasher have not been tested for
compatibility with many chemicals that you might use for degreasing. I
would be concerned about environmental stress cracking of plastic
components.

I have heard that more than one major appliance manufacturer has been sued
by Darwin awards contenders doing things like using a dishwasher with a
flammable solvent to degrease parts and then burning their house down.

or cleaning paint brushes with gasoline next to an operating natural gas
burning clothes dryer

or starting a fire drying marijuana in a clothes dryer (maybe it was the
same guy who was cleaning paint brushes)

and so on and so forth...
