Everyone saying to rtfm has not lived in rental housing with the landlord special dish washer. You can only rtfm when you have tm.
But anyway, putting a bit of soap in with your pre wash isn't a bad idea. Maybe not a whole tablet but then again, maybe they never thought to look for powdered soap before. I certainly didnt until I watched the technology connections video.
In this day and age, a manual pdf is only a search away. All you need is the model number which should be easy to find for any appliance.
I bought a new Bosch dishwasher this year, we'd been using our old broken one as a place to dry dishes for about 2 years. Supposedly this new one has wifi and whatnot. Only ever pushed the "start" button. Yes, I work in IT. 🤷🏽♀️
I would argue that your career has given you the wisdom to understand how the phrase "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" applies to technology. So you just instinctively know that a dishwasher doesn't need a network stack to do the job it was built for. And adding one is creating a lot more complexity for very demising returns.
