I am trying to troubleshoot my Kitchenaid dishwasher which stopped last night mid-cycle with water in bottom, etc, etc. From my reading, it seems like it is like the thermal fuse. I have NOT tested with a multimeter yet. From what I understand, it doesn't seem like I can replace just the fuse and need a new control panel? Is there any point in testing with a mulitmeter?

Repair in our area is booked out weeks and I am trying to sort this out myself.

Not sure what it is with these appliances but I just fixed our Kitchenaid oven not to long ago as well.

Thanks in advance,

Taylor

Hi Taylor,

I'm attaching your tech. data sheet below.

Look on Page 1--->Fuse Service Check then it says Fuse Resistance Check.

If resistance is < 3 Ω, then fuse is OK.
If resistance is > 3 Ω, then fuse is open.

Make sure you disconnect power to your dishwasher first before ohm testing it.

Here's the main control board for your model, if needed:
Main Control Board W10854228

Thanks Jake.

So when I got from W2 to P10-1 it is like 0.3 omhs. So that would mean it isn't the control board/fuse. I tested the direct wiring to the dishwasher and can't get any reading off of it, so I suppose it is time to call an electrician (I have already checked breakers, etc) unless there is other advice out there.

Appreciate the help.

That's correct, the fuse is good.

Yes, you should be getting 120 volts to the dishwasher at your main dishwasher electrical supply line, where the power connects to it from your house wiring.

Yes, I'd have a electrician come out.
