SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20211201-98334-2147358577. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Kenmore Elite 665.14762N510 (Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel Tub Undercounter Dishwasher Model 665.14762N510). Incident: 34YO male. On Sunday, November 29, my wife and I were watching TV after putting our kids in bed and starting our dishwasher. Less than an hour into the wash cycle, around 9pm, we heard a loud popping sound in our kitchen and shortly thereafter smelled a strong chemical/burning odor, though we saw no visible smoke. The door near the dishwasher controls was very hot to the touch. Kenmore Elite Dishwasher model 665.14762N510 serial F53201235 malfunctioned after a loud popping sound during the washing cycle. Circuit breaker tripped circuit. Waited 15+ minutes, opened dishwasher, used fan to try and blow odor out open kitchen window. Nothing inside the machine seamed unusual besides it stopping mid-cycle, still holding water, nothing on the heating element. Scooped water out the next day, unplugged machine and opened door panel revealing melted wires, melted control panel housing plastic and control panel circuit board blackening where electrical fire occurred. Although we have no injuries or other property damages to report, this really scared my family!!!
