Where is the thermostat of a Favorit dishwasher WQP12-9011a located and what does it look like? What is the round plastic switch at the bottom of the washer three wires connected to it with a clear plastic tube running to it for?

The plastic thing at the bottom with the clear tube is the pressure switch, when the water reaches a certain hight it puts pressure down the tube to switch the dishwasher to continue the cycle.

The thermostat is at the bottom towards the back, it is black and silver with 2 wires on it, it is attached through the floor of the machine and is probally attached to you element somehow. This is a common problem with this design, and its difficult to get spares
