Product review (4 stars): It Fixed the Problem
This replacement fuse fixed the dead dishwasher like I had hoped it would but the coupling connector is a bit bulky and a little difficult to tuck away nicely. Some reviewers claimed that the connector acts as a heat sink and is required to keep the fuse from prematurely blowing. Based on the instructions, it appears that its the extra wire length that is actually doing the work and not the connector. The instructions are very specific about not cutting the existing wires more than 1" back from the original fuse connectors. I'm holding back one star because the connector came loose on me once which gives me some doubt to the connection in the future. I'd rather have a heat-shrink crimp type connector to secure the new wires to the existing wires--this would give a positive connection, keep the wires thin without extra bulk, and still provide the required extra wire length.
