| Feb 3, 2019 at 18:55 | comment | added | Rob Hogan | @Transistor I've just taken one apart and it's definitely a temperature switch - and since the dishwasher has its own thermostat I'm sure it must be a safety cut-out. If you want to post that as an answer I'll accept - cheers! | |
| Feb 3, 2019 at 18:29 | comment | added | jsotola | it may be only a terminal strip .... the two sections appear to be installed backwards in the metal bracket, so that the tabs are too close together | |
| Feb 3, 2019 at 18:20 | comment | added | Transistor | It may be a thermostat but more likely an over-temperature safety cutout. It may be inadequately rated for the job. | |

Focus on unidentified component rather than dishwasher problems
|
| Feb 3, 2019 at 18:07 | comment | added | Hearth | I suggest you make this more clearly a "what is this component" question rather than a "my dishwasher keeps breaking" question; the latter is considered off topic but the former is not. | |
