Abstract
A protective circuit for a heating element in a polymeric resinous tub dishwasher including an electric-type resistance heating element and a heat-sensible, dual-functioning switch. The switch is connected in the ground circuit so that current passing to ground will cause a fusible link to melt and thereby open the ground circuit. At the same time, melting of the link allows a switch in the power circuit to open, thereby eliminating any power to the heating element.
