Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Thermal Fuse (Part Number: OEM13269576)

1 Answer

Hello Maurice. Make sure the water is turned on and hot before starting the unit. Also, remove and clean all filters and spray arms in the unit. Once this is done, you will make sure the water is filling to the bottom of the heater on the unit.

Travis, You will want to check the optic sensor first to make sure that the sensor is good. The part number for the sensor is WPW10705575. If the sensor checks ok then the issue will most likely be in the control board.

Hello Jim. When replacing these, you must replace the wiring harness with the new thermal fuse. If not, it will continue to blow in the unit.

Brad, If the unit works when running the hot water prior to use then the issue is that the unit is taking longer to heat the water than normal. You will want to test the heater and thermistor for possible fault.

Jeff for Model Number KUDR25SH

I am having a persistent problem with my KitchenAid dishwasher. About a month ago the child lock light illuminated and will not go off. I tried pushing the Energy Saver Dry button for 5 seconds as many suggested but the problem remained. I just replaced the control board with a new one but once again the problem remains. Today I attempted to reboot the control board but the system has completely lock me out. I ordered a new Thermal Fuse in hopes this may remedy the situation but I am becoming frustrated. The dishwasher works great when functioning properly, so I hate to junk it for another. Any insight would be appreciated.

1 Answer

Jeff, The thermal fuse would have no representation of causing the control panel to lock out. This issue would most likely be caused by a stuck keypad which would require a new control board for the unit.

Hello Jim, You should do a bit of troubleshooting on this before throwing parts at it. The place to start is in the power connection box behind the kickpanel. It is common if a wire nut is getting loose to lose connection here when the connection heats up. If this is fine, check the door switches and if possible, run a diagnostic test (SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS WITH ERROR CODES Entry sequence: HEATED DRY, NORMAL, HEATED DRY, NORMAL, HEATED DRY, NORMAL within 6 seconds).
