It could have been drastic...they could have lost the whole house. But they were home when the dishwasher caught fire. Had they not been home their beautiful home would have gone up in flames.
Bob said the flames were rolling out the front of the dishwasher when he came into the kitchen.
These people were lucky that they were home.

Who did this happen to Verna? That is scary! I am going to stop leaving with the dishwasher running.
Thanks for posting this.

so nice,thank you for sharing,
Linda, this happened to my boss and his wife a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't believe it when I saw the damages.Yet he told me his wife had cleaned up the outside of the dishwasher in hopes it wasn't this bad. They were able to save some of the dishes that were in it. But some were melted into the plastic. His words to us ladies here in the office "This is a prime example why you should never start your dishwasher or washer and dryer and leave the house unattended." If he hadn't had a special floor and counter top he said that it would have been a lot worse.
I don't leave appliances running for that very reason. Too scary!! Thank God, everyone is ok.
