I smell law suit. Yay.
That's what I was thinking. Even _if_ Maytag was preprogrammed to start automatically (on an empty dishwasher?), and the 18 months baby did crawl inside and fit, he had to not only close is tight, but latch it, or have the latch click in, otherwise the dishwasher wouldn't start.
Something's too fishy here.

how would the dish washer know there are dishes inside?

It reminded me of Zach Braff's character in Garden State.
"It's really amazing how much of my life has been determined by a quarter-inch piece of plastic." (broken dishwasher latch/freak accident involving his mother)

that's a toddler, not a baby.
I'd like to see this auto-locking, auto-starting washing machine.

Bolded the problem area.
If the father had been doing his duty and properly supervising the child, this would never have happened.
It's absolutely tragic and it makes me very sad indeed.

Wow, you sure are quick to judge. We don't even know what happened before this incident. Maybe he took the kids out to the park and fell asleep on the couch when they got home, or maybe they were watching TV and the guy fell asleep. Seriously you are judging this guy without even knowing his situation.
Something is definitely fishy about this;
1. I have never heard of a dish washer that automaticaly starts everytime it is closed, that makes NO sense. It would need to be programed first.
2. How would the baby open the door to the dishwasher?
3. If the door was already open, how would the baby close the door?
4. Someone suggested that maybe the door has springs in it. If the door has springs in it to close it, why would it be open? This then brings me back to question #2.

even if he fell asleep, while watching the tv, or after a workout at park or whatever, it was his responsibility as the only parent in the house at that time to make sure, the baby was in the cradle or safely tucked in somewhere.
being tired is no excuse, its like saying i was stoned!
still very sad indeed 🙁
