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?
Didn't want to risk running another cycle and having the plastic melt
and harden somewhere in the pump.
Does it have a "plate warmer" stetting?
If it does, you might use that setting to soften the plastic (with the
foil under as you mentioned, then scrape off the rest with a dull knife
whille its still soft.
