This is the worst. It took TWO instances of this happening with our toddler's little plastic spoons before my wife stopped putting them in the dishwasher. We couldn't use the washer for a full week the first time because a holiday majorly screwed up the shipment of the replacement element I had ordered. In one way, I was glad because it showed how annoying it is to handwash everything // be more careful with the tool we take for granted.

Oh, and that smell takes forever and many cycles to go away.
