I have a 5 year old Kenmore Ultra Wash Quiet Guard 4 dishwasher. During a run cycle, I heard a click and went to investigate. The entire control panel is dead, as in no lights anywhere. All wash arms spin freely. No idea where the power comes from so I decided to disconnect power wires to see if it would reset. Upon removing the electrical connection cover, I found the white wire connection charred (yellow twist connector). I will pull the unit out tomorrow to see if I see anything else and try to reset the motor if it has one. What could have caused the wires to fry?
