Dishwasher showed no power panel lights out. Found bad or blown thermal fuse TCO shown on the strip circuit diagrams part # g4am1100 awf1. Jumped it out using an 15-amp in-line fuse with quick connects on the leads. was able to get the dishwasher to drain via the Cancel button but the start button will not allow the unit to run in the normal wash mode. Checked all interlocking circuits latch switches etc. but it will not run. I even tried just using a jumper wire across the fuse connection same problem it will not run.
Question: is the "thermal fuse" more than just a regular fuse and the main board senses this, thus a regular fuse or jumper will not allow it to run?
