The dishwasher works when I run jumpers past the partly melted plug board unit and the cord rated for 15AMPS is OK except where it failed going in to the plug board. The cord strain relief was properly installed. The dishwasher was actually made by Bosch. Is there a part that I can use for this? I have the ability to modify a part if necessary. (I spent years keeping a race car running) Thank you in advance, Hardy

I would use wire nuts. The ones that have the internal brass connector and then the black cap screws over this are the best. Marrette \| Connectors & Marretts \| Electrical \| Building Materials \| Home Depot Canada See last row left hand side. Be sure to get the correct size. Also the line cord and the unit's wiring must be cut back till you get to nice clean copper. This assumes that I am correct and the part is just a terminal strip with no active components.

The unit works when I connect the wires, but it would be nice to have them fastened to a strip. hardy Originally Posted by: denman Looks like it is just a terminal strip so you should be able to hard wire the unit.

They should be able to give a terminal strip that is a close match. Cannot do it here as they do not have actual pictures of the terminal strips so cannot visually match it.
