Thanks for making this, took the vent door assembly out and it wouldn't move. I finally got it to move, sprayed some lubricant on it, worked it back and forth and got it working somewhat until the replacement part gets here. Dishes were hot and wet at the end of the cycle, so I knew the heater was working.
Another issue I found was that the stuck vent door caused an excess electrical load on the relay on the printed circuit board. It must have gotten hot enough to melt the solder so it was no longer connected to the board. Just had to clean and re-solder the connection on the back of the PCB for the new wax motor/vent assembly to work.
Old video, but it was a an fdb2415lfs0 Thermostat has more than one location, depending on the type. Most of the dishwashers of this era had one main inline and one on the heating circuit.

What mode dishwasher is this and where is the thermostat installed?

Good information just hard to watch. Try expanding out and not moving so much
I mean what model
Great info, poor camera work.
