After searching and watching you tube videos on the potential problem, I went with the first option to replace the thermal fuse. I searched online and found appliance parts pro's. com and quickly ordered the part. I found they also sent instructions on how to replace the part which was a huge help because I didn't need a laptop with a video playing nearby.. There is something to be said about good printed instructions..
Not only that, the item came with everything related to the fuse (wires) to replace..
In about 10mins my dishwasher worked again.. I only buy parts from this website..
thanks
