Can I deduct appliance repairs from tenant deposit

Can I charge my tenant for repairs to the dishwasher because they used regular dish soap instead of dishwaster detergent? The dishwasher was brand new when they moved in 2 years ago.   

I have a second property that the dishwasher was 1 year old when they moved in and it didn't work when they moved out.  I can't get anyone to come out to service the dishwasher (crazy, I know) - can I deduct from their deposit for having to replace the dishwasher?  If so, what would be reasonable (obviously not the entire cost).
