Dishwasher popped while running, wires are blown, thoughts?
Here are some pictures:
It is a samsung dw80j3020
Dishwasher was running and made a loud popping noise and now obviously won’t power on at all. Opened the panel and saw these wires in this condition.
Can I just replace the power cord harness? Will it just happen again? Anyone know about this
Thanks for any help everyone.

Ok this is caused by a bad connection in that box pictured. Loose wire nut or nicked insulation in there. I would call someone who knows how to hook it back up because you will need to cut the wire back, then reconnect the dishwasher.
This is a very common problem with dishwashers.
I just bought a new power cable with these wires from Home Depot and I was going to do just that, cut the wire back and put the new ones in.
