The Fuse Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This kit includes a thermal fuse and necessary installation components. The fuse is a safety device that protects the dishwasher from overheating by cutting off electrical power if the temperature gets too high.

Symptoms of a bad dishwasher fuse include:

  • Dishwasher not starting
  • Intermittent operation or sudden shutdowns during cycles
  • No power to the control panel
  • Error codes indicating a thermal issue

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
