Is it permissible to wash dishes on Shabbat?
Dishes that one has eaten from and has no need for during that Shabbat, it is forbidden to wash them and it is also not permitted to fill those dishes with water, unless there is concern that flies will gather. Drinking vessels may be washed throughout Shabbat [Chazon Ovadia 6, p. 104].
If one's weekday practice is to arrange dishes in an electric dishwasher, it is permitted to place dishes that one has eaten from inside the electric dishwasher provided that one does not arrange them, and one should not operate the dishwasher even with a Shabbat timer.
