Michael July 27, 2024 for Model Number DU945PWSB0 My dishwasher will not start but the green power light is lit on the control panel. Is it possible for this light to be lit with a bad thermal fuse? Or is this an indication of an issue with the board?
1 Answer Michael, it is possible that the thermal fuse 675813 could be blown or the door switch 4318273 (door switch kit has been discontinued by the manufacturer). With the power supply to the dishwasher turned off, it would be recommended that these items are tested for continuity. The door switches should have continuity when activated and the fuse should have continuity at all times. If either of these items do not show proper continuity, that part has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Madeline March 22, 2020 for Model Number 665.1359K600 I'm replacing the thermal fuse and am having a difficult time getting the tan wire out out of the control board using the paperclip trick. Are there other techniques you use when this trick does not work? I don't want to fiddle with it too much and risk damaging the control board. Thanks!
1 Answer Madeline, The paper clip trick is what you would want to do to get this wire loose. If you have a really small screwdriver it may work as well. Read More...

Big Rich January 12, 2018 for Model Number GU980SCGQ2 Greetings, Dishwasher runs. Problem LED's don't light for China, Low energy, Normal, Heavy. Of the functions shown here the Heavy button when depressed does not work. All other functions seem to be in operating order.
1 Answer Big Rich, Your post information and description indicates the issue is in the control panel/keypad assembly WP8051710 / 8051711 Control Panel assembly. Unfortunately, the part is no longer available from the manufacturer. We can no longer get it from any of our suppliers. There is no substitute for the part available to us and we don't know of any other source for the part. You may want to try contacting local parts dealers, one of them might still have it in stock. Enter your part number in a search engine, a smaller company might have it. Try eBay, Amazon or similar sites. Search by using the manufacturer's part number. Try a used appliance store, sometimes they have the same model or useable part for your machine. Lastly contact refurbishing companies, especially for circuit boards: •www.circuitboardmedics.com, www.corecentricsolutions.com They may be able to refurbish the existing control panel. Read More...
Rachael January 04, 2018 for Model Number DU915PWQ2 How can I tell if the thermal fuse is blown? Is it black? My dishwasher quit running mid cycle and didn't drain and now none of the lights will come on for the cycles and basically won't power up.
1 Answer Hello Rachel, you'll want to test for continuity using a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. The thermal fuse 675813 should read closed. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html. Hope this helps! Read More...
Roger Hubert October 02, 2017 for Model Number 16699200 I have ordered a new thermal fuse for my Kenmore (Whirlpool) dishwasher and have 2 questions: 1. Why does it come with the wire harnesses and why should I replace them vs. using what is presently there? 2. What is this thermal fuse protecting - high temps in the circuit board enclosure? Thank you.
1 Answer Roger, The [AP3115186} Thermal Fuse in your dishwasher serves two(2) purposes. Yes, it does protect the control console and the controls from an overheating situation. It also reacts to voltage surges and erratic or high amperage draws. When you replace it, you need to replace the wires as well. They are tested and are a slightly higher gauge wire. You also want to check and make sure the power supply connections in the junction box on the front frame of the dishwasher are correct, and wire "nutted" tightly and properly. and check to make sure there are no loose connections at the heater element and high limit thermostat terminals.

Kevin January 22, 2017 for Model Number Kenmore dishwasher I replaced the thermal fuse once and dishwasher ran fine for 5 months. Blew again and replaced it lasted two days. why would the thermal fuse keep blowing?? thanks
1 Answer Kevin, You'll need to make several checks to the wiring. first at the power supply inside the junction box on the front frame of the dishwasher, make sure there aren't any loose connections, the wires are properly twisted and the wire nuts are tight. then check the wires at the heater element and the thermal fuse. Check the connections at the control board and door switches. Then replace the thermal fuse and make sure the connections are good and tight . Read More...
Fred December 05, 2016 for Model Number GU1500XTLB2 I replaced the door switches 3 times in one year. The dishwasher on normal with high temp wash gets to final rinse and blows. Also replaced the thermal fuse. We dont usually use the heater to dry as it is hot enough from the water. What might cause the switch to blow so much?
1 Answer Fred, You will want to check the thermostat for the heater as it may be what is causing the fuse to blow if the heater is not cycling off. Read More...
Hoelman July 11, 2016 for Model Number DU920PWKBO Dishwasher wont start continuity at door switches dont know where thermal switch is.
1 Answer Hello Hoelman. Your model does not have a thermal fuse. If the door switches are good, you will need to order and replace the timer WP8535371 on the unit. Read More...
Loren September 28, 2015 for Model Number 665.13592K600 Hello,the start button on my dishwasher went out. It just wont start, the rest of the buttons light up, so their is power. So my question is what part do I need to replace? I would like to give it a try before replacing the whole unit... Thank you!
1 Answer Loren, You will want to check the door switches to make sure that they have continuity when pushed in. If there is continuity then they are good. If this checks ok then the issue will be the control panel. Read More...
