¿Es seguro dejar los platos sucios en el lavavajillas toda la noche?

Leaving dirty dishes in the dishwasher overnight generally does not present a problem as long as the wash cycle is run the following day. However, using the appliance as long-term storage for several days can lead to foul odors and the accumulation of food residue.

The practice highlights the distinction between a brief overnight delay before running a load and prolonged storage of unwashed items inside a closed, damp appliance.
