You're talking about a dishwasher, right? What is the cause of the arcing out? |

They were likely near the current limit for those particular terminals in the harness. Get a little moisture there and some thermal cycling and the connector starts to build a little resistance. Now it gets hot and increases the thermal cycling and degradation. It is a run away failure.
Of course this is of no help now that the connector is destroyed, but had this product been brushed on those connectors years ago, the connector would never fail. I've been using this stuff religiously on electrical connections since I learned of it in 30 years ago. Amazing the condition it keeps connections in. |

This can be fixed if you can find a good timer for the dishwasher, replace the timer and take three leads with the correct little terminals on them and just place it into the harness, you can carefully Cut away the damaged part of the black connector block.
We do this type of repair all the time and it will last a long time, if you use the material Phil suggested it'll probably last far longer than it did the first time. |

I am certainly glad to hear that Powerclean was not a dog. |

The timers part number is 20083477. I cant find anything on eBay or any appliance parts website. Ill hold off for about four months and if by then theres no timer, I think I may just part the machine out. |
