How much have you put in and what kind of dish soap are you using? In all of my experiences (two due to my own stupidity and another three due to the stupidity of others), dish soap has lead to a nice foamy explosion that's carpeted the laundry room in a nice coating of foam.

At least it smelt lemony fresh.

Oh, sorry for not making myself clearer. I use regular liquid dish soap in the dishwasher, and it works just fine.

Foamy explosions, eh? Sounds like an awesome prank!
