Dishwasher blows power fuses and chars power board

We bought this dishwasher in 2008 and it blew its first fuse in 2010. Service repaired with new fuse assy. in 2011 just months past the wty. date it blew another fuse. I ordered and replaced. since then it has blown a fuse once or twice a year. These things cost $27.00 and should not be going this often. Is there any modifications or recalls about this problem. I think I might need a new board or entire washer.

SOURCE: MAH5500BWW model fuse blown

You probably need the motor conversion kit 12002039. This Neptune motor / motor control board has a high failure rate. To determine this you need to remove the front cover and inspect the motor control board near the floor on right side for burnt components or a blown 10 amp fuse. If you have burnt components or a blown fuse then your motor control board has failed and needs to be replaced. See www.neptunewaxmotor.com for Neptune disassembly pictures and other neptune information.

Check for a bad ground wire. Also while you are check the ground check all the other wires to make sure that they are seated properly and nothing has come lose or te wire plastic has come off or rubbed off and grounding itself out

This is happening because you have a very bad fault, a Phase to Earth short, problem. Leave machine UNPLUGGED, Breaker/Fuses OUT. do NOT use it, nor Touch it, It is possible to get severe electric shock. PLEASE get a registered serviceman to inspect this unit.

SOURCE: 1.6A250V fuse blows on V3500 power circuit board

Hi,
Your DVD combo use a Switch Mode Power supply.
If you want to give it a bash here is a good guide that explains how they work and how to trouble shoot. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/smpsfaq.htm
but ...
in 95% of the cases it is a shorted switchmode power transistor and other semiconductors, open fusable resistors, other bad parts. Note: actual cause of failure may be power surge/brownout/lightning strikes, random failure, or primary side electrolytic capacitor(s) with greatly reduced capacity or entirely open - test them before powering up the repaired unit.

Dishwasher Winterhalter PT-M , blown fuse 4 A.

If the 4A fuse on your Winterhalter PT-M dishwasher keeps blowing after being replaced, it may indicate a problem with the electrical circuit or one of the components connected to it. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the electrical circuit: Ensure that the dishwasher is properly grounded and that the electrical circuit is rated for the correct voltage and amperage. If the circuit is overloaded, it can cause the fuse to blow.
  2. Check the wiring: Inspect the wiring and connections inside the dishwasher to ensure that there are no frayed or damaged wires or loose connections. A short circuit or a loose connection can cause the fuse to blow.
  3. Check the heating element: The heating element is one of the components that draws a lot of power in a dishwasher. If the element is faulty or damaged, it can cause the fuse to blow. Check the heating element for signs of damage or wear.
  4. Check the control board: If none of the above steps identify the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the control board. A faulty control board can cause a short circuit or overload that can blow the fuse. Inspect the control board for signs of damage or wear and consider replacing it if necessary.
If you are unsure about how to troubleshoot or repair the dishwasher, it's recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified technician or electrician. Additionally, it's important to ensure that all repairs are performed in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations.

No lights no power in dishwasher

You blew the fuse or bimetal. The fuse will open to prevent the unit from catching on fire. Please flick your breaker and make sure there is nothing else tapped into the same spot as the dishwasher or you will overload it and the fuse will blow again. The unit will most likely need a new control board, p/n #

Dish washer blows the switchboard fuses have to un plug it

Please clarify if the dishwasher had completed the wash cycle before the fuse started blowing up. It is likely there is flooding at the base of dishwasher which causes the mains fuse to blow. YOu will have to take the bottom drawer out to check. see this video on how to take drawer out. The steps are shown half way through the video. Make sure the mains plug is taken out from the socket before you handle the dishwasher.

My Whirlpool GU2400XTP dishwasher keeps blowing the fuse. It sat up for 6months because the control panel went out and I couldn't afford to get a new one. Finally replaced the panel and the thermal fuse...

Are you replacing the wires along with the fuse? It is important to change the wires too as they are usually the cause for the fuse blowing. Be sure and get the fuse kit that includes the wires.

Is your water too hot? Hot water is fine but too hot of water can cause the fuse to blow over time. The temp should be somewhere around 120 F. Anything over 130 F is way too hot. I personally don't use a long high steam final rinse or high heat because over time the steam and cause the electronics to short as steam and moisture can get into the keyboard and inside panel.

Blew the Fuse in my GE PDW9880LSS Dishwasher

There is no in-line fuse in your dishwasher. If water has gotten into the junction box, (where the dishwasher and supply line are connected) it could have shorted at that point. Call a technician for service.
