Today I finally managed to get some dishes done early in the morning. I got the dishwasher running and went off to do other things. When the cycle was nearly done, I happened to go past the kitchen, and smelled something burning. I came into the kitchen to find smoke as well as steam coming out of the dishwasher vent (it was on the drying cycle). I opened it up and found this:
Apparently this lid came loose from the top and fell all the way through to the bottom and landed on the heating element. By the time I found it, it was obviously way too late. Those spots are bits of plastic that had melted onto the element, burned even more, and were slowly dripping down onto the lid. Fortunately, this was an old lid, not really missed, and there was no other harm done.
