I don't know this for a fact, but it would seem likely to me that the dishwasher has an electronics board that's powered whenever it's plugged in, running or not. If that were the case, that board could have been subjected to an overvoltage condition when the neutral became disconnected. It's all kind of speculative, I was just giving Mrs. Lee the benefit of the doubt.
