Dishwasher burns kitchen down after making a common mistake

A family-of-four are lucky to be alive after their dishwasher burst into flames in the middle of the night.

Mum-of-two Simone, from the US, loaded the kitchen appliance on the evening of August 7 and turned it on before going to bed.

Little did she know at 1.25am the dishwasher was alight with flames and started burning down the kitchen before the smoke detector went off, waking the family.
