Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130304-32C4B-2147458222. Matched catalog product: GE PDW9280J10SS. Incident: Dishwasher was set for a normal wash. I eventually noticed the acrid smell of burning electronics. The door was extremely hot - difficult to open due to the high temperature and the smoke coming from the row of controls at the top. I pressed RESET/OFF, but when I closed the door, smoke resumed pouring from the top of the door. I needed to shut off the main power breaker to stop the thing.
