Lucky you! About that long ago,we had a neighbor who left the dryer on automatic shut off.They went to the city Christmas shopping & got home late at nt,to a burned down house.
BTW,my DH was home,getting ready for work & he saw the TV OFF light was on. He went to turn it off & that fast realized it wasn't the light,but refection of fire inside the TV.He was able to lift it & I came home to find the TV in the yard....LOL .. our house would have been gone if he hadn't noticed the light.
Was 2 good lessons for me.I turn off everything....everything & I do not trust auto off.
