Kitchenaid Dishwasher

Dishwasher Repair
1

I have a kitchen aid dishwasher that we have replaced the thermal fuse, twice. When the first one went bad,was during a storm. I replaced it and the dishwasher worked for about two weeks, It went out last week, I put a new fuse in and it didnt last over the weekend. I have checked amp draws on the heating elemnt and cant seem to find anything out of range. Has any one ran across this before?

Thanks

Have you replaced the wires supplied with the new part?

No, Just the fuse itself. The terminals looked ok. I will replace the wires when we go back out with a new fuse.

I read in a previous post to replace the wiring when the fuse is replaced. Is there a problem with overcurrent or amperage there? We dont work on many kitchen aid dishwashers, so im not real familiar with some of there problems.
