Hi Joe...

The soldering sounds like a good idea, still not sure if the screw will grab on to it though.

I was wondering about the screwdriver type you mentioned. I have some tiny screwdrivers, don't know if they're "jewelers" or not. The one I'm using is in the jpg attachment.

Is that the sort you're talking about? In any case, one with a wider handle would be, um, handy ;)

Thanks again!

Erf, Yes, that's a basic "jewelers" flat blade screwdriver, and it usually works pretty well. Your next option is the local hardware or auto parts store and purchase a 1/16 inch flat blade screwdriver, and try the solder.

Eureka! It's fixed!

I got a flat blade screwdriver with an actual handle, and that did the trick. It's amazing what a little extra torque (and grip) can do!

Buttoned it all up and it's working! Hope this fuse holds up better than the original.

Thanks again SO much, Joe!

Erf, Check one more thing ... Remove the kick plate and power to the dishwasher, open the electrical junction box on the front or the dishwasher frame, and check , make sure the electrical connections, make sure the wires are wrapped tight together and the wire nuts are good and tight.

You're Very Welcome !!!
