Where is the thermal fuse on a GE dishwasher?

Repair guides common to all dishwashers

You can safely repair whatever is wrong with your dishwasher using these step-by-step repair instructions.

A broken door latch is most likely to blame if the dishwasher door doesn’t close with a click. Follow these instructions to replace it yourself.

The user interface control houses the selection buttons and display. If it fails, you cant select the cycle and settings. Follow these instructions to replace it yourself.

The thermal fuse on the electronic control board is likely blown if the control panel is completely dead; replace the thermal fuse in your dishwasher by following these instructions.

Step 1 – Check the power supply

Checking the power supply is the most logical place to start. Your dishwasher won’t be able to start if there is no power.

To check if the power supply is working:

Check that the circuit breaker is turned on. If not, turn it on and check if the dishwasher works.

If the circuit breaker is on, try to plug your dishwasher into another power socket and see if it works. If it does, this means the original power socket is faulty and will need to be repaired.

If the dishwasher still doesn’t work in another power socket, it’s not the power socket that is causing your dishwasher to not start, so you can move on to step 2.

Where can I find a reset button for my GE dishwasher?

Your GE dishwasher can be restarted at any time during a cycle by pressing the Start or Reset buttons. You must open the top of a top-loading dishwasher, press the button, and then close the top once more. Wait two minutes for the dishwasher to finish pumping out the water.
