What fire risk if it's in a dishwasher? :)

You only save money if you plug it in afterwards. At which point residue poses a fire risk.

Also, many dishwashers have a garbage disposal which isn’t inside the water and may fail if the cord gets into it. Not likely to happen, but enough people try it and someone may directly get an electrical fire while the dishwasher is running.
