2. Replacing Thermal Fuse: Locate the thermal fuse on the heating element or motor. Disconnect the wires from the thermal fuse and replace it with a new one of the same rating.
3. Cleaning the Contacts: Use sandpaper or a wire brush to clean the contacts on the terminal block and connectors.
4. Wiring Inspection and Repair: Check all wires for damage, corrosion or loose connections. Tighten or replace as necessary.
5. Install Heat Shrink Tubing: If any wires have been replaced or repaired, install heat shrink tubing for insulation and protection.
Assembly and testing:
1. Reassemble the washing machine in reverse order.
2. Connect the washing machine to the outlet and turn on the water.
3. Run a test cycle to ensure the repair was successful.
