After my Kenmore dishwasher stopped after cycling - I discovered the wiring harness burnt at the quick disconnect tab as well as the circuit board on the control board. Should I replace both? Did another fault cause the burn/current draw? Does a new fuse come with the control board? ShouLd I buy all 3 and put it back together?
Any help is appreciated

You’ll want to check the electrical connection under the machine. A loose ground or neutral can cause this.
Here is the tech sheet

Depends how bad the harness is but it is usually a good idea.
Any poor connection at the harness plug will cause it to overheat again.

Probably you will have to check each component for resistance.
Perhaps by inspecting which wires/connections heated up on the harness connector you can narrow down what caused it.
There is always a possibility that it was the harness to control board connection itself that was the problem.

I do not think so.

Unless you can determine the cause I would not.
All 3 parts are going to run you around $170.00 dollars.
Unless the unit is in excellent shape, it does not make sense to invest this into an old unit.
Plus you may need other parts.
