Yep.

I did it. Heard it drop and didn't think too much about it until that smell
started coming out...

Does anyone know of an effective way to remove the remnants of a melted
spatula from a dishwasher heating element? No amount of scrubbing seems to
help.

thanks for your help!

Hi,

You -might- try warming up the plastic a bit with an hair dryer to see
if softening it up a bit might help to remove it....might need to
replace that element ( fairly easy ) if you cannot clean it up.
