kitchenAid dishwasher WON’T power on “quick fix” (thermal fuse) 8193762 whirlpool, maytag

If your dishwasher doesn’t turn on or power up, there’s a good chance that the fix is relatively easy. A thermal fuse can fail and cause this problem. In this video we show how to diagnose the problem, and the repair is pretty straightforward.

Thanks for explaining some underlying issues around the thermal switch. It was very helpful.

Well, I've a model KDTE204KPSO; top controls in the door. BUT, just the push buttons. Nothing else. Circuit card on the inner panel and I suspect the fuse is buried in there. Question is, HOW do I get into all the plastic: drop an access hatch and it's just wires on push connectors. I tried lifting the circuit card and all the plastic off the panel, but no go. Suggestions?

the price of that fuse from online parts houses is $30, not a couple of dollars...where are you getting yours for a couple dollars...

What caused the original over current condition? Just replace the fuse, dah NO.

Is it possible the fuse just failed?
