You can remove melted plastic from a dishwasher's heating element by first unplugging it from the power outlet and removing all of the dishes and racks. Leave the dishwasher door open to allow the coils to cool down. Place some ice in a plastic zipper bag and put it on top of the cooled plastic and leave for about 30 minutes. Remove the ice and using a plastic scraper, scrape the hardened plastic off the coils. Soak a cloth in an acetone-based nail polish remover and leave it on the element for 5 minutes. Use this cloth to scrub the remaining plastic off of the element then wipe the coils with a clean, damp cloth. Remove any remaining nail polish remover residue with a cloth that has been dipped in a solution of warm water and dish soap, then rinse the coils with water.
Buy a new element.
yes as it is plastic
Most plastic bottles will be melted or burned by fire!
Plastic plates are recycled in the same fashion that other plastic materials are recycled. The plates are separated, ground into chips, washed, and then melted.
By heating chocolate is melted; after this chocolate is thermally decomposed. Chocolate gas doesn't exist.

They are hard and can not be melted on heating they become decomposed as Bakelite.
I believe in most cases it is just a good general idea to remove the melted plastic all together, just to be safe.
no. i had one and the plastic melted a hole in it and destroyed it.
Plastic is melted by applying thermal energy -- heat. Plastic "bits" are dumped into a hopper, and a screw type feed mechanism forces them through a heated section of the screw housing. Resistance heating elements are used, and they convert electricity to heat energy to melt the plastic. The temperature is controlled by electronics, and run appropriately for the type of plastic being melted. This melted plastic is then forced out the end into molds in a process called injection molding.
It is possible that melting plastic in a dishwasher or other appliance can create toxic fumes. It largely depends on the type of plastic which is being melted. The best bet would be to properly ventilate the area and go into another area of the house until the smell is gone.
he melted
tungsten has high resistivity and resistance but at a higher temperature it becomes hot and oxidised and melted so we can't use tungsten as heating coil
Phosphorus is a solid chemical element up to 44,2 0C - the melting point of the allotrope white phosphorus. Heating in air lead to oxydation.
No, heating would cause it to lose mass. It may be nearly unmeasurable, but it would lose weight.
If plastic is melted I guess it would be useless and the ways u can get rid of it is by either scratching it off or use solvents such as Hexane's ( to buy this solvent I think you need a licence and it is extremely flammable).Plastic dissolves in this type of solvents and then you can just rinse it off. The safest and most effective way is to heat up your wood stove (as I assume the melted plastic is on the outside) and use a putty knife to scrape it off when it's hot.
