Thermal Fuse

PartSelect Number PS342838

This part is used as a safety device to protect the dishwasher circuit from overload. If the temperature gets to high it will shut off the electrical current to the heating unit in the appliance.

This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Kenmore, Admiral, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Not drying dishes
• Will not start

See part 26 in the diagram

Shut off water to the machine, remove the hoses at the machine and inspect & clean the mesh filters in the water inlets. If dirt did get into the line, it would be from the water main work, not the sprinkler work.
It doesn't hurt to clean the machine filters.
However, I would be surprised if that would cause the noise. I think the machine has a mechanical problem.

Check the drain line from the washer out, to the drain in the sink. Some how the restriction is causing residue to backup and your not getting a free flow out to the drain. If its a HOSE, disconnect it and blow it out with a vacuum and replace again.

check the seal on the inlet valve.

all you need is the name brand and model number of the dishwasher in order to purchase a control for your dishwasher. this is found usually on the door or door frame

Replace the water supply valve under the sink and water supply line to dishwasher.
Over time as you can see minerals deposit in the valve and restrict the water flow to the dishwasher.
This is especially inportant on todays water saving units.
Many people replace an old dishwasher and hate the new unit due to a white film left on dishes.

Although you may have paid for a professional installation a new shut off valve is almost never replaced even though the waterline may have been at an additional cost to you..
