Don for Model Number 665 17032400 I have called a repairman to fix my dishwasher 4 times the first time he replaced the timer and when that didn't work he replaced the control panel my dishwasher was fairly new so i put the great expense to do this the second and third time he came and replaced the thermal fuse it worked the first time but the cycles would not advance. He wanted to replace to replace the control panel again. He Left telling me that it may be cheaper to replace the dishwasher I went on line and discovered that on both times all i needed to do was re reset the codes. well my dishwasher is not turning on again and suspect the fuse again. why is it blowing fuses every 6 months or so?
Answer Don, The control panel fuse could "open" due to several reasons, You'll want to check and make sure there are no loose connections in the electrical junction box on the bottom front frame of the dishwasher. Check and make sure you have the proper rated power supply to the unit. check and make sure the wires to the heater element and hi limit thermostat aren't loose or touching anything under the dishwasher. Then replace the fuse kit, you need to follow the instructions and use all the parts in the kit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, January 18, 2013
