Hey Ghot.
I ask you because this dishwasher is as old as you are.
The thermostat is fucked and I am wondering if I can replace it with one with slightly higher temperature ratings. The current one is 77C - 86C, and one I can source locally is like 80C - 90C.
Can't find the part number on the thing because it was scratched out so the local dishwasher stores are not of any use since they don't have the model I told them listed in their database.
At this point I am just going to say fuck it and short the wires together just to get the thing working lol. If it blows up I'll buy a new one since the part itself as listed from the retailer for a different model is like 30-60$.
In the past, in similar situations, I get the make and model of the dishwasher and then call them and ask where to acquire the thermostat.
