So last night I was getting my son ready for bed when I smelled burning plastic.. I traced it back to the dish washer.. I smelled it. My husband smelled it too. The heated dry had 30 minutes left but we stopped it. Opened it and found a roller from the dishwasher basket melting on the heater coil.. the smell was awful. We got it out. When I opened it I got a face full of plastic steam. I ran several empty loads with vinegar and rinsed it til the smell was pretty well gone. I opened all the windows. But it was cold so couldn’t for long.. and not before the smell filled our entire house. So I’m really worried it was toxic and It poisoned me and my family.. and panicking that we are all going to get cancer from it.
The smell is gone now. I reran the dishes that were in the load with the burnt plastic today after I felt the smell was gone. I hope they are all safe now too!
I hope someone can tell me they have done this before.. melted plastic in their dishwasher or at least reassure me that we will be okay!
Thanks everyone!
