Millions of Americans load up their dishwasher after dinner to run a cycle as they sleep — but one woman says you do so at your own peril.
Simone Anderson says her Kansas home started going up in flames as she slept earlier this month after she started her dishwasher before turning in for the night.
Anderson, 29, told Kennedy News that she carried out the seemingly safe routine every evening, loading up the machine with dirty dishes that had piled up between herself, her husband, Paul, and their two kids, Nola, 4, and Ansel, 1, during the day.
But on Aug.7, the unexpected happened: The dishwasher caught on fire.
