Before end of cycle (normal wash), the fuse is blowing off and water is not drained completely. I have replaced the fuse 3 times, everytime its the same problem. When replaced first time, it worked for couple of months but, later did not work at least once. Could anyone suggest what could be the problem? Note: when I replace the fuse I just replaced the fuse not the entire kit like, wires, plastic sheild, etc. Thanks Andy
