"Tonight I didn't even run it yet and another one broke."

Say Whaaattttt??????

Boy, you think they hates GE over there in appliances,this won't make them anymore popular here, breaking a glass without the DW even on??? Can it be the way the "tins" were holding the glass?

I have no idea on this one, it all sounds
"Pretty Spooky" to me.

Hmmmmm, could it be that DH hid some kind of Ultra Sonic device, inside the DW, that breaks glasses?

Sorry, that's the "Best I Can Do"

Thanks Gary! Pretty freaky I think too and just as I was thinking, hey this dishwasher is working great! Thinking that we may have it too hot though and that glass was just washed in the last cycle and already weakened.

Years ago I had some glasses that just randomly would break. It could be sitting on the counter or table and you'd hear a cracking sound and a piece would pop out of the side. I think they were Noritake brand. I returned them to the store where I purchased them and they said there were other people that had the same thing happen. So unless they are glasses you've had for some time it could be defective glassware.

Are they by any chance those ribbed Crate and Barrel glasses? I have a friend who had those and who mentioned -- when she saw that I had some -- that hers broke easily and randomly (kind of the way badergal described above). I can't remember if a dishwasher was involved. I've never had a problem with mine so maybe it's just certain production runs or something like that.

This reminds me of back in the 70s, when I was still a smoker, twice I had a book of matches spontaneously ignite in my purse. Very freaky. Switched to lighters after that.

Had the glasses for years, washed then in the dishwasher for years no problem so it is definitely the dishwasher. DH thinks the heated dry is too hot and causing expansion, hence the breakage. We haven't tested any other glasses to prove our theory!

Are the glasses tight over prongs in the DW?

That alone is enough to break the glasses sometimes.

CK - I have a Miele DW and wash everything in it - including my Waterford Crystal and Rosenthal China. I figure it is safer than me washing it by hand!!

Now for a funny story. Many moons ago at a New Year's Eve Party, glasses started breaking while sitting on the table. The first one was near me and I was blamed for it. Later, other glasses just started to break and I kept getting blamed even though I wasn't near them - but easy to blame me as the first one appeared that I broke it...
We all had a good laugh and I bought the hosts a new set of glasses (the old ones were gas station freebies from the Canadian Olympics)

So, sometimes glasses do break - but I would be very nervous if I were you.

Take care and thanks for all of your help.

My bet is your DH is on to something as this occured with a previous dishwasher. When we adjusted the heat setting for dry cycle, it solved the problem. I shed no tears when we replaced it. It did feel like the thing was jinxed, and was glad to be rid of it.

Hope the rest of your glasses are soared!

Thanks everyone- we don't use much glass so I am thinking hand wash that and enjoy the awesome cleaning power for my dishes, plastics , forks knives and spoons! I will test drive a cheap glass too to see and will report back:)

We are having the same issue thought we had a ghost! In the last month we have had 3 or 4 glasses break and the dishwasher hadn't even been run. I look nothing is touching or...I am in disbelief. Our dishwasher is a Whirlpool. We have had for 10+ years and it never happened until.last month or so??? Is it Coronavirus 🤔
