what make was it?
bad news that, lucky you were there, makes me glad we never leave them running when out although tempted, these pics enforce it, cheers.

Lucky (or unlucky) ..damage isnt too bad.

My wife managed three chip-pan fires when we first lived together..first the brigade got out without too much damage, second I sorted with no damage..at which pint her mum bought her a double cut out thermostatic electric job.... which is totally safe unless you happen to stand it on the hob and have that switched on too:neglected:. That time I was alerted by the cracking sound of the kitchen plaster breaking up..smoke, soot, chip fat in the cooker sparking the electrics and all the plastic-wear in the kitchen melting from the heat! We had to brillo-pad the ceilings to scrub the fat off to repaint.

She's only allowed oven chips now.

Stay sharp folks.. fires are nasty

Get in touch with the manufacturer and let them know what happened. It might need a recall and possibly save someone's life.

And you might get a free dishwasher out of them.

Get a Miele it will never do that...

For sure, good save, and take this as a warning be aware. So many people run these things through the night etc. But as long as everyone is okay and the damage not too bad then happy days!

[JoeBailey]

Yes! let it be warning, Washing lipo's in a dishwasher is not safe.


Seriously, at least you had the mind to shut it in and phone the fire brigade.
Shame about the kitchen but your still alive and thats the most important thing.

[igottomanyhelis]

manufacturer wants to collect it to see why it happend and perhaps stop more of them,but did state this is an old modal and these bits on will no longer be made on other ones.
