Hello, assistance needed please I also have a Kenmore 66513493N412 dishwasher, and I got the repair guide mentioned above. Could someone clarify how to test the power supply and what parts to inspect first? I’m a bit overwhelmed by the electrical diagrams. Any advice would be appreciated!

Start by checking the basics: 1. Power Supply: Use a multimeter to test the outlet and the terminal block where the power cord connects to the dishwasher. You should see around 120V (or 240V, depending on your model). 2. Door Switch: This is a common failure point. If the door isn’t fully closed or the switch is faulty, the dishwasher won’t start. Test the switch for continuity with a multimeter. 3. Thermal Fuse: If the dishwasher overheated, the thermal fuse might be blown. Check it for continuity as well.
