Dishwasher turned on at night or in morning?

[Peppermint81]

I have always thought it best to turn the dishwasher on late evening so can unload in the morning to start day fresh.
My husband disagrees and prefers to put it on in the morning so it's not sitting in the damp all night.

Out of interest do you turn your dishwasher on in the evening or morning and why?!

Night, after dinner.
Any other time would seem odd.

DH is a firefighter - not at night!! 😬😬

Really? Is this an issue? I had no idea!

Just whenever it gets full. We run it less frequently than once a day so the timing varies.

Evening if awake. Not when asleep. We had a dishwasher catch fire. Luckily we were standing next to it at the time. Or more accurately my dad was, who calmly dealt with the flames. I would probably have panicked.

At night after dinner but we would empty it last thing so it we start with an empty dishwasher in the morning.

I also don't like anything running overnight, so we run ours whenever we have a ull liad and are awake to see it through!

About 7am as we have economy 7 that goes off at 8:30am

Morning - I have solar panels that’s the only reason.

Most of my appliances - only in the daytime and then only when I am at home.
(for the same reason as Notjusta above)

usually evening after dinner.
nener ever when going out or going to sleep due to the fire risk.

Appliances catch fire surprisingly often!!

That said, to be honest, we do put ours on at night but we have A LOT of smoke alarms and all doors are shut at night downstairs and up!

Daytime as we have solar panels.

white goods are the leading cause of house fires.

Overnight, along with the washing machine & the car - all during our cheaper 4-hour electricity period.

Our dishwasher has a drying part of the programme so everything (apart from plastics which always need a tea-towelling) is dry when we open it about 2 hours after it finishes / when we get up. So it's emptied as we make breakfast.

When it’s full but not overnight whilst we are asleep.

We just put it on when it needs it. Never overnight though.

In the evening after we’ve cleared up then empty it before we go to bed.

Usually mid morning, on the days I'm in. Eco cycle takes over 3 hours

Don't like to leave it running overnight

When it’s full! Frequently goes on twice a day, but like others not overnight - if on after dinner it’ll be done before we go to bed.

Ours runs overnight when the electricity is cheapest

After dinner and then again during the morning/day if needed. Usually is!

When it is full. But usually overnight so it is ready to be emptied when I get up. Do the same with the washing machine. It just fits with my life and when I have time for unloading. And whilst appliance fires may seem disproportionately common to a firefighter, the overall benefit:risk ratio says to me I am OK to do this. Especially in a house with a fully wired smoke and heat detection system.

Whenever it's full and I know I'll be home. I work from home so usually during the day.

Overnight, ours dries everything at the end of cycle.

Whenever it's full. I rarely can be bothered to empty it until it needs refilling
