A small piece of plastic fell through the cracks in the dishwasher
shelf and melted on the heating coil at the bottom of the tub.

I broke off the large piece and am considering using a butane torch to
heat up the coil enough to melt the rest off and have it drip onto
some aluminum foil below.

Any reason why I shouldn't do this?

Any better method to remove the melted plastic?

You might try packing some ice around the coil for a while...it may
shrink enough to 'pop' the plastic. If that doesn't work, maybe try ice
around the plastic to make it more brittle and therefore more easily
chipped off.
