I could be wrong, but I think adding dish detergent to the condensate drain could cause more problems than it can solve. This is because you cannot see how much water to add to completely flush out the suds, and it could actually cause a clog. Technicians will sometimes offer advice that is not consistent with the official recommendations of the equipment manufacturer.
