Replaced the main (bottom) spray arm. Now there is no electrical power at the control panel. Is there a power cutoff if the spray arm isn't connected?

If unit isn’t getting enough water, replace water valve

Hello,

What is most likely the problem is the THERMAL FUSE which when it has gone out will cut power to the motor as opposed to the thermal cutoff and thermostat which controls ONLY the heat and has no bearing on the motor.
The thermal fuse is the housing where the lint filter fits into at the bottom of it, it's white in color and oval shaped check and replace it and the dryer will start very likely

Hello

Unplug the dishwasher. If you cannot access the plug, turn off the dishwasher's circuit breaker in the electrical circuit breaker box to stop electrical power to the dishwasher.

Open the dishwasher's door, and pull out the bottom dish rack. Set it aside.

Hold the lower spray arm still with one hand. Turn the retaining nut clockwise with the other hand until it comes free. Pull the spray arm up and off the shaft.

Your spray arm jets are probably clogged.
Depending on the model, the lower spray arm generally has a nut or thumb/butterfly screw (plastic) that you remove and then lift the spray arm off. I always soak mine in hot soapy water and then flush with hot water. If debris such as pieces of paper, bone, peelings are in there, you'll need to take a tweezer or toothpick to remove them from the jets. The upper spray arm usually has the same apparatus and you can follow the same procedure.
I hope these suggestions help your problem. If so please come back to Fixya and rate my advice!

How To Test High Temperature Cutoff Switch Located at the Upper Heating Element Before testing the electic water heater elements we should check out the high temperature cutoff switch since a problem there will simply turn off power to both heating elements.
On an electric water heater the upper heating element may have two, three, or four electrical terminals, and above the upper thermostat is a high temperature cutoff switch with four terminals. You should be able to identify these parts by looking at the water heater's wiring diagram found on the tank or inside the panel cover.
The electric water heater high-temperature cutoff swtich will turn off the entire water heater if temperatures are too high. If this cutoff is not working the water heater will simply not heat at all. You can use this switch to test to confirm that the incoming electrical power circuit is indeed bringing power to the water heater.
Turn off electrical power to the heater at the electrical panel: WARNING: possible fatal electrical shock
Set the multitester or VOM to its 250 VAC scale, and attach the tester probes or alligator clips to the two uppermost terminals on the control (L1 and L3 on the top left and top right in our photo below). These are normally the incoming electrical wires from the power circuit to the heater. "L" refers to "Line voltage" on most controls.
Test for line voltage: Now you can turn on electrical power to the heater. Your VOM should show voltage close to the voltage on the water heater's identification tag: typically this will be 208V or 240V for a 240V water heater, or it might be just 115V or 120V for a 120V water heater. If you do not see voltage close to the rated voltage you need to call an electrician to diagnose and repair the problem.
Turn off Electrical Power to the Water Heater again. Don't skip this step or you may be killed or you may ruin your test equipment.
Test the High Temperature Cutoff Switch itself: set the VOM to its Ohm or resistance scale using the most sensitive setting (R x 1). Touch one probe to the upper left terminal on the control (L1 in our photo at left). Touch the other probe to the lower left hand terminal on the control (T2 in our photo at left).
The ohm meter needle should move (or your digital multimeter DMM should show some number other than infinity). If no continuity and infinite resistance is what you read, try pressing the reset button on this control (the red "RESET" button in our photo at left).
If you cannot reset the control then this device is not working and it needs to be replaced.

Steps:
1)Shut off power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker and turn off the water line to the dishwasher by locating the shut-off valve, which is typically inside the cabinet beneath the kitchen sink.
2)Remove the four screws that hold the dishwasher kick plate in place.
3)Locate the motor,which is typically centered beneath the bottom spray arm.
4)Lower the dishwasher door and take out the bottom dish rack.
5)Remove the spray tower and spray arm assembly by unscrewing the bolt through its center.
6)Take out the filter immediately beneath the spray tower.
7)Disconnect the motor wires from the wiring harness,making a note of which wire connects to which terminal.
8)Disconnect the pump assembly and drain hose from the motor.
9)Remove the motor from the base of the dishwasher by unscrewing the four bolts holding it in place.
10)Repair or replace the motor and reinstall,taking care to reconnect the wires the same was as they were attached to the old motor.
11)Attach the pump and drain hose to the motor.
12)Replace the filter,spray tower and lower spray arm assembly.Reattach the center bolt in the spray tower.
13)Restore electrical power and turn on the water supply valve.
14)Run a test cycle to check for leaks underneath the appliance.
15)Replace the kick panel in front of the dishwasher.

It could be that your dishwasher is not getting enough water. Let the water fill the dishwasher, set the spray arms in the same direction. Add a large pot of hot water and run the dishwasher. Open the door and check to see if the spray arms have moved. If they have moved, replace the water inlet valve.
Remove the 4 screws holding the lower kick panel. Remove kick panel. Locate the water inlet valve. This is the electrical valve where the water pipe hooks into the dishwasher. Shut off the water to the Dishwasher and electrical to the dishwasher. Disconect the 2 wire plug at the water inlet valve. Disconect the water supply to the dishwasher at the valve and disconect the rubber hose attached to the valve. Install new valve and test machine.
I hope this helps.

you will need too take off your back panel of your dryer and the heater is on your right the thermal cutoff is on the left of the heater housing at the top and then there is a little white thermal cutoff on your blower housing in the bottom left of the dryer now if this is not how your dryer looks let me know cause there is several different style of kenmore dryers but this is the most common one

Look for the spray arm holes to be clogged ,if they are clean them out good.Please rate this!
