It could be anything. What it sound like is maybe a capacitor has ground out against the cirsuit board. This would cause a melt down per say.

Smoke came from under fridge

When you let the smoke out of the wires, they don't work as well afterward! Sounds like a short and what was burning was wire insulation. The main components are the compressor and the fans.
Look for misshapen wires as that will be the best indicator of what has overheated.

Burning smell from dishwasher

There is a heating element located on the bottom inside. Make sure you do not have anything that fell on it. And make sure it's in it's brackets it could be resting on the bottom of your dishwasher and melting a hole through the bottom.

A plastic lid melted on the coil, still smells like "melted wax", seems clean, what can I do?

You will probably have to replace the heating coil in the bottom of the dishwasher to get rid of the smell. The coils aren't that expensive and replacing them is an easy job. Hardest part is getting the dishwasher out from under the counter to do it.

Hi, I have a Fisher & paykel DD603. A really bad smell has developed which appears to come from under the top panel encasing the dishwasher. How do I remove this panel to locate the source of this...

HI- If you mean the front panel they are removed by taking out the plastic retainers that are on each side of the drawer near the front and bottom of the drawer. They are round and about 1/2" in diameter and have a raised straight portion in the middle, they sit flush with the plastic sides. Use needle nose pliers and pull hard. Once both are out grab the bottom of the front panel and pull down, the panel should "slide" off. Be sure to have the power off to the unit (unplugged) because if there is an electrical short that is casing the short all the wires will be exposed and could give you a shock if they are melted. The controller will be in the upper right hand portion of the drawer front. Smell there. I've see them short out and be black and crispy. Good luck. Getting the panel back on is difficult but be patient and don't force it.

The screen faded to black. Followed by a humming noise, and a burning smell. Now the T.V. won't turn back on and the DVD is stuck inside.

Probably something shorted out in the power supply. Sadly these days small TVs are cheaper to replace than to repair. To remove the DVD look for a small hole on the DVD tray door. Straighten a medium sixed paper clip and push into the hole and the DVD tray should release and open. Remove the DVD and toss the TV.

Gas oven - - melted plastic inside

You can remove the bottom oven panel and look under it. All you have to do is remove the oven racks and locate the screws that hold the bottom panel in place. MOST ovens only have two of them. Once you have the crews removed, the panel slides back a bit, then lifts up. If there are any heavy deposits of melted plastic, remove it like you did before. Any residual material can be taken off with some fine emery paper. Wear a dust mask and vacuum all the dust out of the oven. DO NOT use this method on the oven wall as it may scatch it. This is only for anything that may have dripped below the oven pan. You may have an odor to the oven for a while, but as long as you have nothing else melted inside this should go away. Try running it on a cleaning cycle AFTER you've inspected the oven & cleaned out the remaining plastic. This will burn off anything left behind. I hope this helps you.
