10-23-07 (Dishwasher about 5 – 6 years old.) Had circuit board ‘repaired/reworked’, but that didn’t fix things. Then replaced motor/pump assembly. That was it. Motor field windings had shorted.

01-06-08 Thermal fuse had failed – replaced.

07-18-08 Thermal fuse failed – replaced. Suspect voltage surge (very common here - computer problems occurred at the same time.) Added surge protector.

12-25-09 Thermal fuse failed – replaced.

02-04-10 Thermal fuse failed. Molex (?) connector melted at top (R – W) wire.

Dishwasher in excellent mechanical shape. Would really appreciate any help

Thank you denman - you're right on. Yes, always replaced harness(es). We have monitored line voltage off an on for years, but no big trends. (The county admits we, spelled 'they', have a problem, tho.) Unit shares a breaker with the disposer. Seldom run toigether.

But your water temp point is very interesting. It is interesting in that all this started a numbers after we moved into this (new) house. That's about when we turned down our water heater over concern for our grandchildren whom we baby sat for years. I was always on their mother's case because they had their heater temp set WAY to high.

Anyway, presently we measure about 115F. May be too cold. Have set it up to 125-130, and we'll see what happens.

Thanls for the very thoughtful hints. This just may be the problem.

Thanks again,
Dave
