Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20140831-2DE15-2147441368. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Bosch Dishwasher. Incident: The wires under my dishwasher heated to an extreme temperature and melted interior elements of my dishwasher. Had the circuit not tripped in my home, there could have been much more extensive damage and fire. The damage appears to be consistent with other recalls by Bosch- when I contacted Bosch and described the problem, they indicated that my dishwasher was not part of their recall.
