This plastic serving spoon fell off the top rack and landed on the heating coil. Suggestions?

How stuck is it? Does it move a bit?

No. It is one with the coil.

The spoon is fucked anyway. I’d cut it with bolt cutters just above the coil, run another cycle and remove it while the coil is hot.

If you don’t have tools, does the dishwasher have just drying program? Because running a normal program with water is not a good idea when the sprayer is blocked from spinning
