Thermal fuse blown?

Can I determine if the fuse is blown by a visual check? I removed the fuse and it looks fine - but there was a strong burning odor before the cycle started and the DW is now dead. I’m assuming/hoping its the fuse as it blew about a year ago and was replaced by a tech with new wires.

You can not visually check an electric parts. It has to be checked for continuity.

I do not think the problem is a fuse because it does not produce any smell. Remove the bottom panel, open the junction box on the right side and check for burned wires.
