If you have a controllable-temperature dishwasher, *maybe*, by reducing
the wash / rinse temperatures.  Plus, if you Do Not Use the drying part
of the operating cycle (hand / air dry outside of the dishwasher
instead), you might be able to get away with some older models as well.
[I have always found the greatest culprit to be the heating element in
the bottom of the machine.]
