    Empty plates left on the counter will no longer have the “Load Dishwasher” option greyed out. Honestly, this was the universe telling you that you probably shouldn’t use the dishwasher for one plate, but you’re welcome.

    Fixed in Patch 1.70.84/ 1.37

The cup was sitting on the counter over the dishwasher. The sims will clean all the other dishes and ignore the one on the counter above the dishwasher. The shelf thing happens on PS4 also though. When my Sims stop cleaning dishes up, I have to go find the plate on the shelf for them to resume.

    OK. Thanks for clearing that up. Could be connected.

      Just wanted to add my two cents, as I have a variation on this bug. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why my child sim would pick up all the plates and continuously set them down instead of putting them in the dishwasher, and even the load dishwasher interaction was failing. I had a coffeemaker on the counter the dishwasher was in, moved that and voila, the child sim can now use the dishwasher again. I've had no issues with teen and up using the dishwasher with the coffeemaker there, just child sims.
