John R for Model Number kudc25chbl1 This is a follow up to the repeated thermal fuse failure question. The P6 female connector is made of plastic and is quite charred. The wire and connector, though charred, seem to be solid. Should I just grin and plug it in? or should I splice a new piece of wire and with a new connector? Also, per your suggestion, I have a new heater coming. Is it safe to run the machine before I get that part, or should I wait. I surely do not want to blow another control module.
Answer Hello John, It is possible that the connector may be faulty and you would want to replace the connector and the wire that is charred. The charring can cause the wire to overheat and break. If the heater was the cause of the failure you will want to wait to run unit until heater has been replaced. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, February 25, 2013
