Brand: Kitchenaid
Model Number: kdfe204kps
Main Symptom: no power
What happens & when: nothing
Error Code (if any): n/a
Parts or tests already tried: see description
Hello. My Kitchenaid dishwaher (Model #kdfe204kps) suddenly stopped working. No power to console, but circuit breaker in house panel was fine. I took apart the front door panel and (using no-contact voltage tester) found the black wire from bottom was live until it passed through this clear-plastic coated sheath (which looks maybe like it’s been dirtied by arcing?) where there was something solid-feeling inside. When I pushed it around a little, I saw a tiny spark within the clear plastic sheath and power was restored to the panel. I can’t tell if this is a crimped connection (which is easy for me to replace) or some type of in-line fuse. If a fuse, it would be a weird place for one.
Your advice and guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Theodore
