Our dishwasher died just this past week. When I plugged the power cord in another outlet, it trip the breaker indicating a short. So I opened up the junction box where the power cord is attached and you can see that one of the wire nuts melted and then shorted to the metal panel causing a nice little scorch mark. When I googled the problem I actually ran across the same problem here. So I cut off the melted wire, reconnected the wires but this time soldered them together. Hopefully it won't generate as much heat now.
