Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Dishwasher will not start from the control panel
• Some buttons or functions are unresponsive
• Display or indicator lights are dim or absent
• Intermittent button operation or unexpected beeping can occur when the UI panel or its connection is faulty

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the dishwasher has power at the household circuit and that the controls are not simply locked, following the appliance manual.
• Disconnect power before inspection; check the UI-to-main-control connection for a loose plug, damaged wire, or visibly poor connection.
• After restoring power, observe whether the display and buttons respond normally; do not assume the UI is defective until power and connections have been checked.
• Inspect the panel for visible cracking, peeling, or moisture-related damage without opening energized components.
