Dishwasher Fuse Or Sensor
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WP661566
Thermostat has 1/4 inch terminals.
The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This safety feature is designed to prevent the dishwasher from overheating by shutting off the power if the internal temperature exceeds a certain limit. It acts as a safeguard against potential hazards, such as fires, and ensures the dishwasher operates within safe temperature ranges.
Over time, the high limit thermostat can become defective due to normal wear or electrical issues within the dishwasher. A malfunctioning thermostat may not accurately respond to temperature changes, which can lead to overheating or the dishwasher not reaching the necessary temperature for optimal cleaning.
Symptoms of a bad High Limit Thermostat include:
- Dishwasher not starting or completing a cycle
- The dishwasher stops heating water, affecting cleaning performance
- Overheating, which could potentially damage dishes or the dishwasher itself
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
This part fixes the following symptoms

Whirlpool dishwasher not fully cleaning or drying dishes. Andrew M. • Seattle , WA • January 05, 2020
My Whirlpool dishwasher (wdf520padm3) started leaving food on dishes and not drying dishes as well as it used to, even when I ran the 'high temp' and 'heavy' cleaning options. This started happening after about 3 years of operation. To try to diagnose the issue, I started the diagnostics cycle (see below for instructions on how to do this). However, the 'Clean' LED is also not working on my dishwasher, so I was unable to read the error code after the service cycle finished.
I decided to...

Thermal fuse and control panel for my maytag dishwasher both failed and needed to be replaced Richard C. • Cape Canaveral , FL • November 01, 2014
Ordered a new thermal fuse from your website last week and installed it three days ago. This is the second fuse in one year that needed to be replaced. The dishwasher was purchased new in 2012. Relatively easy to replace. Your website had a you tube video that showed how to replace it. Power came back on the control panel, but the start button (not a button, but a touch screen) would not work. This is the second time in two years that the control panel had to be replaced because the start...

The Turbidity Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It detects the level of particles in the water during the wash cycle, allowing the dishwasher to adjust the cycle duration and water usage for optimal cleaning performance. This sensor ensures that dishes are thoroughly cleaned by monitoring water clarity.
You should replace the turbidity sensor if it becomes faulty or damaged. Causes of a bad turbidity sensor can include regular wear and tear, exposure to hard water minerals, or electrical malfunctions. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to inefficient cleaning cycles and poor wash results.
Symptoms of a bad turbidity sensor include:
- Dishes not being cleaned properly
- Dishwasher running longer than usual or shorter cycles
- Error codes related to the sensor
- Inconsistent wash performance
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

F7 e1 error code water not getting hot. David F. • Austin , TX • September 14, 2021
My wife said we have a problem with our dishwasher (Whirlpool WDT920SADE2). The dishes were not getting clean, and the soap dispenser opened, but soap was still dribbled down the inside of the door and on the silverware caddy.
I'm not the handiest guy; it took me several days to go through the trouble-shooting process, watching multiple videos and trying different things. My initial guess was that the soap dispenser was opening too late. (This turned out to be wrong.)
I started off by...

I first verified the house panel circuit breaker was not tripped. It wasn't so I removed the bottom kick plate of the unit, using a circuit cricket I verified the power feed to the unit was live.
The bottom kick plate had a trouble shooting guide in a plastic sleeve which I opened and reviewed. Based on information in there it appeared the TOC was likely the issue. (We recently lost power and used a stand by generator. Previously when we did the the dishwasher had a blinking LED on the...

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as a crucial safety component that prevents the appliance from overheating by cutting off electrical power if the temperature inside the dishwasher becomes too high. This helps protect both the dishwasher and your home from potential fire hazards.
Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include overheating due to blocked air vents, malfunctioning components that lead to excessive heat, or electrical surges that damage the fuse. Over time, regular wear and tear can also contribute to the fuse's failure.
Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:
- The dishwasher not starting or running
- The control panel not responding
- The dishwasher stopping unexpectedly mid-cycle
- No indicator lights or sounds when attempting to operate the dishwasher
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Dishwasher just stopped working, no power Michelle W. • Gillett , WI • April 05, 2014
My friend researched online what would make a dishwasher just stop working, no power. The person on the you tube video showed how to first start with the thermal fuse. Then searched online for the thermal fuse. You had the part for a small price. I felt it was worth trying to see if that may be the issue. IT WORKED!! I was without a dishwasher for over a year, was planning to by a brand new one but for $23.00 now have a working dishwasher!! YEAH!

Kitchenaid induction cooktop burners out on right side. Suzanne K. • Orlando , FL • June 02, 2020
Local appliance repair outfits wanted an extortionate amount of money to do this repair.
So, after checking on topic threads online to diagnose the problem, we disassembled the cooktop and extracted the bad parts. We then did an online search for those parts. APPLIANCEPARTSPROS.com had exactly what we needed and although one item was on backorder, we received everything in a timely manner.
The cooktop works perfectly now and we saved a bundle!
