I had a similar event take place years ago where a tupper ware lid had found its way onto the heating element causing a small fire that melted the bottom out of the plastic tub. I came home and found the house smelling like an electrical fire but could not figure out what had caused it. I had started the cycle before work so it had been all day since melt down. If freaked me out when I discovered what the problem was and the smell lingered for weeks.
I will never own a dishwasher that does not have a tub made out of stainless, no more plastic dishwashers for me. I had normally been in the habit of starting the wash cycle right before going to sleep but now run it before. That way I am home and awake if something goes wrong.
