Actual case A user had been using a damaged dishwasher without fixing it.

Since a user had been using a dishwasher with a cracked internal panel and torn packing, a large volume of water entered through the damaged part. As a result, the tracking phenomenon occurred, and the equipment was burned.

* What is the tracking phenomenon? It occurs when an electrical current flows into accumulated dust which bears water such as dew or condensation, causing heat and eventually ignition.
