Dishwasher control board relay melted an smoldered - fire risk.

Our 2012 Bosch 500 series dishwasher caught on fire while it was running. This model is not part of the Bosch power cord recall. When we opened the dishwasher door there was no indication of fire and there was some water in the bottom because the cycle had not finished. Smoke was coming out between the top of the dishwasher door and counter. We had to use a fire extinguisher to stop the fire and the smoldering would not stop until we pulled the dishwasher completely out of the house. There was a lot of smoke, and the smoke had a plastic like smell that burned our eyes. We cut power to the dishwasher with our circuit breaker before removing the dishwasher. My husband recalls that he thinks the switch to either the dishwasher or garbage disposal had tripped. Also, when we was pulling out the dishwasher, he saw sparks. The fire from the motor area burned the plastic, neighboring wires, insulation wrapping the dishwasher and part of the wooden cabinet which formed one side of the rough out. Based upon our photos, it looks like the fire started in the motor or perhaps even more likely the wires leading to it. I have photos which I sent to Bosch. My Bosch file number is [REDACTED]. Bosch did not give me any money and did not send anyone to inspect the machine. I sent photos and supplied all the information they requested. I hope Bosch takes this incident seriously because I actually really liked our Bosch dishwasher until it nearly burned down our house. I phoned Bosch several times and sent a series of emails. I received a lot of inconsistent responses from Bosch: they rejected my Sears receipt (yes I have it from Nov 2012 in its entirety) because Sears uses it's own item number and not the specific Bosch model on the receipt. Then I was told that we shouldn't have un-installed the dishwasher in order to have a technician look at it. This of course was absurd since our house was filled with smoke. I did not receive any compensation from Bosch. I did not have technici

While in use my 4 Year old Crosley dishwasher caught on fire. The fire burned holes through the inside and underneath the dishwasher until burning plastic dripped on the linoleum covered wood floor. This fire would have been catastrophic if I had not been home and awake at the time. I have pictures.

Heating element in JennAir dishwasher model #JDB1095AWS went wild and wouldn't turn off, melting items overnight that were in the dishwasher. Stainless steel sink next to dishwasher was too hot to touch the morning of the incident.

Lights on diswasher lit up on their own when I opened door the panel was so hot I burnhed my hand. Was worried it would catch on fire and had to disconnect dishwasher. I feel dishwasher a fire hazzard.
