I have a kitchaid dishwasher (kudm01tjbl). I am replacing electronic controller part 8269187. The new part # is 8564542. I have 2 wires (black and black/white)that used to plug onto something labeled microtemp. Looks like this is a thermal fuse that is clipped onto the old board. The new board doesn't have a similar place to clip on the fuse. I would think I would remove it and attach the wires and find some way to clip it to the new board, but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Looking at the picture of the control board



you can see the spot on the left upper part of the frame where the thermal fuse should be attached.

Thanks, after I got to work I started looking at the old board and determined the fuse would snap off. I plan to move it to the new board tonight. thanks

I thought the problem was solved when the dishwasher worked for several wash cycles. Now I am having the problem where the normal wash button won't work. It seems like cancel/drain is all that works. I killed the power and opened the panel and removed and rechecked all connections and after turning on the power again everything worked normally. This is what the original problem was, after taking out the control and reinstalling it, it works for a couple of times then stops working. Often the rinse only and clean lights are blinking. Even when I kill the power and wait hours and turn the power back on it doesn't seem to reset it until I remove the control board. Could it be the front touch panel? I'm stumped.

It shows that the control senses one or more pads on the key pad stuck. The correction is to replace the console.
