I picked up a non-working dishwasher, trying to solve a problem for my neighbor.
No lights come on when I plug it in. Pretty sure the problem is the thermal fuse located inside the top of the door; no continuity through it.
I put a 15 amp automotive spade fuse in place of it temporarily, plugged it in and the lights all flashed. I didn't try anything else.
I would like to test run this thing before I deliver and install it. I can hook it up to cold water and a drain in my basement. Will I be ok to temporarily bypass the thermal fuse with a jumper wire? As long as the machine properly functions through all cycles, I will definitely buy the correct thermal fuse before installing the unit. I just want a way to make sure it does work before I spend money on it.
Suggestions and opinions appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Anthony
