Everytime I replace it the dishwasher runs fine for about a month or two. Some fuses last about a month some last for as long as 3 months. I have checked the resistance on all motor windings and coils and they fall withing specs on the schematic. Any ideas on why these fuses keep failing? I run the dishwasher about every other day. If I had a motor or coil failure I imagine the fuse would fail immediately, that is not the case here. I can run several cycles with no problems. It just seems to happen after about a month or two. Any ideas?:confused:

Either something is pulling too many amps (motor, water soloniod, or element) I replaced one today in a kenmore and everything was working fine. Check the amps as it goes through the cycles and see if anything brings them up. Water filling would be water inlet solonid is energized. Wash cycle the wash motor. When draining the drain motor. Drying the heating elements. Check the specs in the documentation to see how many amps each device is rated for and use them for reference. If the amps go over those then you can narrow it down.
