You must install the new wire leads included in the kit. The original wires often have microscopic heat damage that will cause your new fuse to blow immediately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean the Terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensure the spade connectors on the control board are clean. If they look burnt, use a small piece of fine sandpaper to clean the metal tab before attaching the new harness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure Wire Nuts:\u003c\/strong\u003e When using the included wire nuts, give each wire a \"tug test\" to ensure they are locked together tightly. A loose connection creates heat, which will trip the fuse again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the Heating Element:\u003c\/strong\u003e After replacing the fuse, inspect your \u003cstrong\u003eHeating Element\u003c\/strong\u003e at the bottom of the tub. A grounded or cracked element is often the root cause of the fuse tripping in the first place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BlueStarsParts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45336295014589,"sku":"AZ00145803","price":15.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2576\/7548\/files\/AZ00145803_1_eadd00b0-f75e-490f-9973-9420b189a9aa.jpg?v=1762246969","url":"https:\/\/bluestarspartstrend.com\/products\/675813-dishwasher-thermal-fuse","provider":"BlueStars Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
