Whirlpool Dishwasher Thermal Fuse Keeps Blowing. Upvote 2 12-28-19 0415 PM PJmax. The most common cause of the repeat failures was the incomplete installation of the thermal fuse kit. You can check whether this is what is causing the issue by unplugging the dishwasher from the power supply then unplugging the heating elements connectors. But an intermittent short grounding in the element could do it too.
Dishwasher 66513752K601 keeps blowing the thermal fuse. Also a thermal fuse will blow because of low voltage. Yesterday the tfuse blew so we got a new one from a store replaced the old one hit CancelDrain the started the dishwasher again and the new tfuse blew in Im assuming the rinse phase as. All other aspects of washer were working fine. If you get me a model I can tell you exactly why the door switches will blow the the control panel fuse. Many models of KA and Whirlpool dishwashers had a problem with door switches over heating the wires and blowing the fuse.

It cuts off the power supply to the controls making it impossible to operate the unit without fixing the issue. The contacts in this are loose or become bad over time and cause the thermal fuse to blow or wiring to spark or cause other issues because it arcs over in the connection and is not a good contact or loses contact over time. In extreme cases repeat failures can be caused by a bad harness and to correct the problem the entire wire harness would have to be replaced. The first time was during High temp wash. If you get me a model I can tell you exactly why the door switches will blow the the control panel fuse. To access this fuse disconnect electrical power from the dishwasher and remove the screws from the top of the inner door panel that secure the control console assembly.
