We kept our place very clean and tidy. We both were having a good time living the single life and would bring home girls for the night. Getting the girl upstairs to the bedrooms was a lot easier with a nice looking downstairs. Ah the good ol days.

Last time I used the dishwasher it caught on fire.....literally on fire. It was old and just a coincidence but guess who does not do dishes at our house anymore?

I went to two dishwasher fires in my career. They both made a mess. Shut off water and rip unit out of cupboards. Most are only held in place with a couple screws. Carry outside to extinguish. Call insurance company (owners job). The smoke damage from a dishwasher fire can exceed $20,000 in damages. Repaint kitchen, repair/replace cupboards, dry clean clothing, carpets, drapes. What needs to be cleaned afterwards can be immense.

Well now I know why the air outside smelled so bad yesterday.

Oh wow. Yeah mine isn't anything close to that bad.

The inside of my dishwasher is all stainless steel. So the spoon flared up, melted into a puddle, but nothing else caught around it. I actually got it all cleaned up last night and ran another wash cycle with just detergent and it smells acceptable now.

Me too. I hand-wash to keep my hands & fingernails purdy.
