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.
You should replace the fuse if it becomes defective. Causes of a bad fuse can include electrical surges, overheating, or age-related wear and tear, all of which can compromise the fuse's ability to function properly.
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.
