The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as a crucial safety component that prevents the appliance from overheating by cutting off electrical power if the temperature inside the dishwasher becomes too high. This helps protect both the dishwasher and your home from potential fire hazards.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include overheating due to blocked air vents, malfunctioning components that lead to excessive heat, or electrical surges that damage the fuse. Over time, regular wear and tear can also contribute to the fuse's failure.

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

  • The dishwasher not starting or running
  • The control panel not responding
  • The dishwasher stopping unexpectedly mid-cycle
  • No indicator lights or sounds when attempting to operate the dishwasher

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

Hi Bob. The thermal fuse is located in the control panel on the back of the circuit board. The control panel is on top of the door where you press for commands. You will need to take the screws from the inside of the door out to access the panel circuit board. The thermal fuse is clipped in place on the board housing. Make sure that you use the wiring harness that may come with the fuse kit part # 675813. Thank you.

Hello JPS. If the unit requires a 98° thermostat, you do not need to use a 128° thermostat. This could cause damage to the unit and the house. Hope this helps.

Hello Ruth! Usually when the fuse blows out the control panel is ok and the fuse 675813 only needs to be replaced. Thanks!

Ruth, Have you replaced the thermal fuse, yet ? It is possible for both the fuse and control board to be damaged, but rare. Once you bypass the fuse or replace it, you'll need to check for 120 VAC at terminals P7(white wire) and P8 (tan wire) on the control board, with a multi meter and go from there. Good Luck.
