Whirlpool 8193762 Genuine OEM Dishwasher Thermal Fuse Kit

The Dishwasher Thermal Fuse Kit includes the thermal fuse, (1) fuse assembly, (2) zip ties, and installation instructions. The thermal fuse is located inside the console of the dishwasher and shuts off the heating element if the appliance overheats. If your dishwasher will not start, replacing the fuse may alleviate this issue. Consider replacing your damaged or defective fuse with this high-quality and easy-to-install replacement kit. To access the part, open the dishwasher door and remove the screws holding in the top console. Then remove the tabs holding the cover at the back of the console. The fuse is mounted to the control board. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, a wire cutter, and a torque 15 screwdriver. It also involves some disassembly of the appliance and requires novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the water supply under the sink. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner (item W10282479) once a month or as needed to help remove limescale and mineral buildup that can affect your dishwasher's performance. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
