Update...
The dishwasher has gone through 2 cycles since that loud pop + electrical smell and it's been fine. However I might have found a tell tale sign as there were 2 small pieces of plastic right underneath... I uploaded a short clip on YouTube: please follow the link below if you wish to see them. I've arranged for some1 to help me lift it down in the next few days to check whether I can trace the origin of those bits of plastic found should they come from inside the dishwasher.
My microwave oven works again for some reason, but I no longer trust it after the frying noise and the smoke... still, it's over 10 years old so I can't really complain even if I have to replace it... it's just so frustrating that everything is cracking up at the same time! Feel free to recommend a brand for a new microwave oven ;-)
'ultimafan', that might even be a possibility, my tumble dryer has made sharp explosion noises (but not smoke or smell) in a few occasions and they seemed coming from the timer at the moment when it was disengaging the heater, and I also found a blown fuse a month ago (but that was propably my fault cos' I plugged in 2 appliances in 1 go with a 3way socket)... however not all of the incidents I was taliking about above are electricity related (the toaster was still working but it split into two and the printer has an ink related issue). Thanks anyway ;-)
