Kenmore dishwaser control board problems I think?

Hi

I am having issues with the Kenmore dish washer. It just went dead the other day. I though it was the control board and switch it out. The problem did not get resolved. I did not think the thermal fuse was an issue since every-time i disconnect the power and the computer board and reconnect everything and turn on the power the washer will go through a wash cycle, at least you can hear the pump pumping, and then goes dead again.

I tried to isolate the thermal fuse but I could not get the wire connectors off the fuse. Is their a trick to getting them off?

(I know this sounds stupid but I have a tendency to brake stuff that I try to fix. At least that is what the wife says which is steaming from breaking a vacuum we got for a wedding present as I was trying to put it together. In 18 years I still have not lived that one down.)

Andy help and Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, :confused:
