SOLVED Whirlpool dishwasher - blows fuses and burning smell

All I'm trying to say is you could end up with the same problem in a month or two if the problem was not the heater.

Thermostats cut in or out at certain temperatures, like a switch either on or off.

I understand the thermostat idea ok - I just didn't understand what you meant by "Alternatively remove thermostat and heat whilst monitoring temp to see the cut out temp."

Sometimes you have to spell it out for me

Jeez I certainly hope I don't have this again in a month or two!

Remove thermostat and slowly heat, monitor the temp with a thermometer, when it cuts out (switches off) make a note of the temperature.

You will hear it click, to be sure it is def switching (making and breaking contact) you will need to connect a meter to the connectors.

Just because it clicks doesnt mean it is working properly!
