Even though my curling iron turns itself off, I unplug it just the same. I don't trust the automatic turn off! Black smoke would just terrify me.

It would worry me the whole time I was gone from home if I left something on the stove cooking, even on low. I would be worried about being in a wreck or something and not getting home in time before the liquid boiled away. I never would leave with the washer or dryer on either. One time, luckily my husband and I were both home, our dryer started putting out all kinds of black smoke, my husband went downstairs and unplugged it and made sure that there was no fire in it anywhere. I refused to use it again, I don't know if it would have worked or not. It was old and I felt safer getting a new machine rather than spending money for a repairman. Another time our dishwasher had something cause a lot of stinking smoke come out of it. I turned it off and left the door closed and kept an eye on it, deciding if I should call the fire department. I did not call them because the smoke stopped. The dishwasher didn't work the next time we tried to use it. Nothing had melted onto the heating coil, so I figure maybe something in the dishwasher wiring. I know I go overboard with not having heat making appliances on when we leave the house, because I won't even a crockpot plugged in when we are gone. And you wouldn't believe how many times I used to OCD-ishly have to come back in the house when I had started to leave for work, to make sure I had unplugged my curling iron. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-82534289889301442102021-11-29T18:31:18.586-08:002021-11-29T18:31:18.586-08:00Bobbie,

My dryer overheated, so I am particular about not leaving it on when I am gone or sleeping. The washing machine ran over and flooded the kitchen and had gotten to the carpet, so that is watched, too. I am going to leave it on all night, tonight, too.
