Kitchenaid DW normal light blinking; after cleaning of control b, DW doesn't start

Hello experts, I have a kitchen aid DW model # KUD102CRBS2 and it’s normal control light starts blinking. I researched the forums and realize that I need to open it and disconnect/connect back some cables. So I did it and it starts working again for a day only. Next day when we tried to use it, there was no power at all. I have re-opened the DW and made sure that all the cables are connected properly but still no go.

Can someone please advise urgently whether I need to replace the thermal fuse or the control panel?

Thx in advance.

Here’s an update. I checked the voltage on the thermal fuse. On both terminals it was showing 120 v. But when I performed the continuity test, I see the resistance does show up as some value instead of being zero. Does it mean I need to replace the thermal fuse?
Please advise.
Thx
