As you probably already know, jumping the fuse can fry other components, (even if it’s only for 2 seconds), use a volt meter and check it for continuity. The other thing I wanted you to know is that you SHOULD have used the wire(s) that came with the fuse. It’s a common problem that Whirlpool appliances have and Whirlpool had to come up with a “fix” for it. That fix was those wires. Just replacing the fuse itself may not be enough. The wires going to the fuse tend to over heat causing the fuse to blow. Replacing those wires that came WITH the fuse will stop that problem. It’s easy to do, just cut and strip the wires and stick them into the connector that came with the fuse and screw them down tightly. I can’t tell you how many times I have to go back to people’s homes and reinstall it WITH the wires because it can/will possibly blow again. I’m a certified Sears appliance technician. Good luck in your endeavors, all in all, this wasn’t a bad video.

Thanks Danny! This video saved me a big repair bill! Everything in your video was exactly the issues my dishwasher was having, including the pistachio shell and the fuse. GREAT VIDEO!!

Thank you so much Danny! I am a a 56 year old woman and just fixed the dishwasher BY MYSELF! Thanks to you of course! My part was ordered through Home Depot and arrived in 2 days for under $9. I'm pretty excited!

Danny, thank you for taking the time to put together a very well thought out and easy to follow process to fix the issue , you save me a great deal of hassle and money ! Very grateful!

OUTSTANDING Thank you.. the jumping fuse to diagnose was what did it for me...

Great video!! Everything was explained perfectly and so easy to follow. I really appreciate that you included cleaning out the grinder area to avoid another blown fuse. We were able to fix part and clean out dishwasher. We found fruit nuts and a long skinny piece of glass under the grinder. Part was only 8$ on Amazon. Thank you for the help.

Thanks Danny! Your instructions were very useful. Some broken glass was the culprit for me. The experience also gave me an excuse to finally buy a shop vac!

Thanks for the great video. Very thorough and clear instructions. Professionally done. I had the same dishwasher and the same problem. I spent about of one-tenth of the money needed to call a repairman on the order of the thermal fuse. Following every step shown in the video, I did the maintenance cleaning, opened the compartment for the motherboard, replaced the thermal fuse. It is now working as before. BTW, I ordered the part from a local store and picked it up the same day. Thanks again Danny Jose!

You are THEE man!!!! 6 years later & FOREVER!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Credit where credit is due...thank you so much for making this video! I was able to complete the repair myself for the cost of the fuse. Same exact problem right down to the pistachio shells. Thank you again!

Extremely clear and helpful content. You saved my dishwasher. I followed your instructions exactly and am thrilled to say the dishwasher is working! Thank you!!

Perfect! Thank you! 5 minutes and $9 later and it works great again (cleaned the filter first...took about 20 minutes)

Thank you! Successfully replaced our fuse tonight. Saved us $750 for a new dishwasher and was FUN to do.

Danny, excellent video. I had the exact same issue and replacing the fuse solved the problem. Cleaning the innards was a great suggestion as well. Very well done.

Dude, youre a life saver. My dishwasher took a crap this am. It was the same fuse. Watched your video, troubleshot, and figured it out. Got a new one locally, but it was 30 bucks. It was worth it to get it going today, instead of in a week. Thanks man.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very detailed explanation. I have the model with the small panel on the front but was still able to complete the repair. With almost 256,000 views you surely have helped many people save lots of money on this repair. Thanks again!

Good video! My Kitchaid was dirty, but I didn't know about the fuse. Now I do. Thanks very much!

Omg! I just replaced the fuse in my dishwasher and it works! Thank you so much for such a detailed video.

Thanks so much for this easy fix for the fuse. I had run my Kitchenaid on hi-temp scrub and it died in the middle of the cycle. I don't do many repairs so going slowly, it took me an hour and a half including the cleaning. The easiest part was changing the fuse I am so glad I found your video - saved me time and $$.

Great explanation... worked like a charm. I did exactly as you said and it was a fuse, so im back up and running.

Thanks for taking the time to put this video up. The fuse was my issue, and I did the full clean up as well. Save me big $$$!

Danny!!! Awesome video. My issue was the same. And after watching the video I decided to dismantle the filter assembly and clean the washer. Great info and you have another subscriber Wish we could have done a video on my jackshaft door installation

Excellent tutorial and clear and concise info. I took everything you did and cleaned out 12 years of built up crud, seed pits, plastic bottle cap. Easy fix and went back together easily. I tested it and worked perfect.....With all the gunk I cleaned out of the reservoir and I think it'll do a better job now. Thanks for saving me a few hundred buck$! Oh and my fuse was bad also.

You saved me $90 at least. I watched several videos and almost ordered an entire new board. Instead I found the fuse as you suggested for about $10. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Just confirmed my issue was the thermal fuse by using a wire between the two contacts (all I had) to confirm it was bad. Thank you so much for showing us how to confirm the issue before ordering the part. Wish you well and thank you for taking the time and explaining all of this so well!!!

I followed your instructions, cleaned and checked the filter plus did a troubleshoot of the fuse. That was it. Replaced with one from Amazon and it's working again. Thanks!

Accurate video, probably saved me hundreds of bucks today. I followed the instructions and cleaned it up. The only things stuck there are a few unsolved plastic wraps of detergent capsules; after removal, power and lights came back so I didn't even open to check the fuse/motherboard. Who would think detergent capsules can cause such a problem!

Refreshing to find a well thought out video. Thanks

Great video! I had this exact same problem with my dishwasher. After watching your video I was able to fix it. Thanks so much!

Thanks Danny. Worked great to help diagnose a blown fuse. Ordered mine and awaiting it's arrival. Fuse arrived, replaced it and it worked, dishwasher is running at this moment. I also took a few minutes and checked the filter and grinder and found plastic pieces in there. Works like a charm now.

Good film, very informative and helpful

Thank you! just spent like an hour going through this for the first time because we spent a lot of time cleaning. Your video made this 100% possible (both the old and the new). Thanks for making this!!!

Dude this video saved me some $$$. Thanks for explaining everything so clearly!

Great video Same exact issue . Your video was very clear and easy to follow. Thanks

Great video, had the same issue, the fuse, also took it all apart to give a good cleaning with CLR.........Thanks!

Thanks!!! I got mine second hand free and it died after two washes. But with your help it was a 10$ fix!!!! Thanks.

This video is great! I was able to replace the fuse myself easily. I also appreciate the advice to clean out the grinder. I took the extra time to do that and found a cherry pit, some glass, ceramic etc. The instructions are very easy to follow! Thank you!

Many thanks, Danny! While I agree with ThePatriotsBrother, your video gave me a great place to begin diagnostics of my dead touchpad. SECOND TIP is another KZfaq instruction: With door open, disconnect from control board the power connector and both touch pad connectors. Wait 7 seconds, then close door. If pump begins drain cycle, your control board is OK! After this step, my touchpad came on again and all is good! Maybe this reset the control board?? THIRD (and it would be easy to first try this): My model is a 12 year-old KUDS30FXSS3. The repair sheet inside the toe-kick apron also describes a UI (User Interface) test: with all connectors connected, press any 3 touchpad buttons sequentially 3 times in a row. If UI is OK, all buttons/lights will simultaneously light up. (If less than all light up, there is an error code descriptor.)

I was already shopping for a replacement washer, then searched youtube--"no power kitchenaid dishwasher" your video came up......you saved me $800.00 (or postponed it's use). FYI, I clicked your Amazon link, it took me to some Canadian Amazon page. I left and went to US Amazon page and ordered from different vendor. Thanks for video, sorry about link.

Thanks for the great video - saved me a service call. Instead spent $20 on a fuse and now we're back up and running!

This is by far the best done video and I have been able to take apart and clean my dishwasher as well as diagnose a blown fuse in the control panel. Thanks so much!

This was an awesome tutorial man. Saved me so much time trying to figure it out myself.

This fixed my dishwasher, fuse was only $15 on amazon, thanks for the great tutorial!

So thankful for your video! Our 16 year old Kitchenaid DW same model, lights stopped during cycle .Followed your instructions exactly and sure enough it was the fuse. Great video!!

THANK YOU!!!! YOU SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY WITH A QUICK FIX FUSE & DIY FOR ONLY $9! YOU ROCK DANNY!

Thank you for this video...it helped me isolate the problem quickly.

There are intuitive people and there are teachers.. ur both.. very clear and detailed fix.. thanks

Thank you for the step by step tutorial. Hopefully this will fix my problem! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤔

Dude! Dude! Wow! Thank you so much! Followed this video to the letter and my machine is working again! Literal lifesaver. Thank you for the gift of this video!

Thank you so much. Your video showed me were the fuse was and checked it out and it was the problem. You saved me $900. Great video.

Thank you thank you thank you! My dishwasher had the exact same problem and if I had just fixed the fuse it would have happened again. (My dishwasher had the same issue with obstructions/plastic in the drain.) Up and running again thanks to your video. 👍👍👍👍👍

Great video Good instructions now I’m ready to work on my kitchens I’d the exact model. Thanks!

Great video - concise and easy to follow - thank you!

Nice, easy to follow tutorial. Cautionary note: Best to switch out both fuse & wiring - otherwise it will likely blow again. It's easily done, look up "thermal fuse kit" replacement.

Thank you Danny! you are the best at showing and explainig how to repair my dish washer. your instructions were very precise . please keep your videos coming

Fuse was $12 on amazon (U.S) Thanks so much! This was the exact problem...

Great video. Following you steps, I changed the fuse of my Kitchenaid Dishwasher successfully.

At 8:45 into the video - two black relays on the right side of the board. One of mine had blown and burned a bit of the surrounding circuit board. $900 for a new dishwasher vs $150 for a used circuit board. BUT - - I was able to track down one of the relays online for $4! Removed the damaged one, soldered the new one in, and my dishwasher actually worked!

Hey I know you did it ages ago but I just used to fix my dishwasher, and if it hods up saved me $1000 as we were gonna replace! Either way we’ll done. Thanks

Thank you so much. Did exactly what you did and it'd worked again. Saved me 100's of dollars 💸. But now it stops running mid cycle almost like you hit pause. If not one thing it's another. Thanks a million

Solved my problem and saved my family a bunch of money! Thank you!

Saved my dishwasher with this video. Thank you!

Just fixed mine. Thanks for the video!

This was great, thanks so much!

Thanks very much for the tutorial. Excellent information and video!

Thank you so much for the video! I followed every one of your steps and each one of them worked! Awesome video!

Good video to watch before service tech arrives. I am not comfortable working with electricity. When the service person comes, I will understand the possible problems and costs. I appreciate the help!

Lifesaver thanks!!!!!

Awesome video and great content of knowledge and great detailed video thx

This got my dishwasher going, however, the unit stopped working again after one run. I guess the fuse is blowing for some reason further down the line (I ran it without heat/dry, so perhaps that rules out the heating element). Turbidity sensor? The motor gets a bit loud so maybe it is failing. I also just switched out the fuse as opposed to splicing in the wire kit, and some websites say not to skip that step, but the wires that come with it are only about 8" long so that just seems like splicing for the sake of splicing. Anyway, this is a great video and it seems to have been a permanent fix for many. Thanks for Posting!

Very helpful, thank you. Great video.

This video helped me so much. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. My washer stopped working with no power as well. I'm going to try to fix it myself

Great video I replaced my fuse with n automotive one works great. Thanks

Wow you make great videos..thanks

You just saved me a thousand bucks! THANK YOU!

tks a lot sir . I fixed my diswasher from your video .

Super helpful. Thanks!

Excellent video and very helpful.

Thank you

Thank you. a great video !

Great video, really helped me

Thank you so much!!! Life saver!!

Thanks for the video!!! Fixed it

Thanks buddy. It helped me save lot of $$ on replacement

Thank you!!

Ok...I'm not a repair man, but my DW went dead...I will follow up with a feedback once I follow these step. But I would like to add that the instructor explanation was very clear. Excellent.

i remember always to take the fuse out of the circuit when testing for shorts or rather continuity when i was testing laptops. i believe it has something to do with if its still connected to other things it could pick up some funky stuff

great video, thanks

Well done!

Thx. Will do x

It was the fuse for me as well! Lights are back on. Cleaning the inside now

New subscriber here.. One of the best DIY videos I've watched and I've seen a lot!

Very helpful--Thanks

thanks so helpful Regards

Very Good Video!!! Mission accomplished!!!

HELP! Great video! Everything worked except when I put the 4 legged sprayer back on. I hold it, tighten the middle, and when it spins it wobbles ALOT and hits the back part you removed during the earlier steps. Re did the back part and verified its in place (by placing top rack back in and watching the top tub fit into the whole for upper water). Taken it out and redid it a few times but worried now I am going to strip the plastic piece. Thoughts???

Thank you!

Yeah. I did it myself. Cost me about $15.00 AFTER paying repair person $112 for service call who then wanted another $120 for the fuse! Wished I would have seen your video earlier. Thank you.

This is a really well done video!
