Michelle W Gillett , WI April 05, 2014 Dishwasher just stopped working, no power My friend researched online what would make a dishwasher just stop working, no power. The person on the you tube video showed how to first start with the thermal fuse. Then searched online for the thermal fuse. You had the part for a small price. I felt it was worth trying to see if that may be the issue. IT WORKED!! I was without a dishwasher for over a year, was planning to by a brand new one but for $23.00 now have a working dishwasher!!

Darrell F Rincon , GA March 14, 2014 Diswasher Thermal Fuse I have never worked on a dishwasher in my life. I took the control panel apart and saw that the thermal fuse wire was dark as if it had gotten hot. I went on several you tube video's and learned how to replace this part. I also read a few blogs and discovered that when the fuse goes out there is no power to the panel. I called appliance parts and was disappointed that they could not cross reference my fuse part number to the current replacement part. So I did further research and found the new replacement part number. I called appliance parts back and ordered the replacement fuse. In 2 days I received the part and replaced the fuse. The only tricky part was to get the old wire out of the clip with the paperclip. Had to get it just right to release that harness wire. Anyway my dishwasher is fixed and the whole procedure saved me at least a 100 bucks. Thanks to the Parts Pro's I am good to go. Please have your operators be equiped with cross refeernce charts for your parts that will help emenesly.

Marilyn M Seymour , TX June 09, 2023 Appliance: Kenmore Dishwasher 66516634000 Dishwasher quit mid cycle, no lights. My dishwasher quit mid-cycle and there were no lights on nor could I get them to turn on. This dishwasher is probably 15 years old so I thought I’d buy a new one. Then I saw the prices and was floored. I started researching and came across this site that had the customer stories matching mine, the part I needed right below the stories, and then a repair video to show the replacement process. It was great, I’m pleased, and my kids don’t have to hand wash the dishes anymore.

John S Pendleton , OR September 26, 2015 The dishwasher died mid cycle no lights nothing After a bit of research I decided that the thermal fuse was likely the problem. I ordered the part which arrived a couple of days later and used the video to figure out how to replace the fuse. As soon as the new fuse was installed the lights came back and the dishwasher is working again.
