I'm very fortunate I believe.
A couple of years ago we re-ran the water line to dishwasher with some new braided hose.
Never got around to replacing the kick plate and I believe that was fortunate procrastination.
Recently while running dishwasher my wife noticed red glow and smoke at the wiring. Shut it down and found the below pictures.
No clue what happened although we can speculate that the wiring was "disturbed" by routine broom sweeping or mopping.
No, it was not appropriately in a "box" and it will be once fixed.
The breaks in the jacketing was not the cause, but rather a result. The black was "fused" to the white where the breaks are.
ANY clue as to what did / could have happened?
Semi-Sidebar question. It looks like the green was wired in with the whites. That may or may not have been. I'm not sure from the pictures. Should it be?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
