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.
