The control board is accessed by removing the inner door panel (typically 6–8 screws around the perimeter).

Always ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface before handling, never place the board on carpet or plastic, and photograph every harness connection before disconnecting anything. A single misrouted connector can cause the same symptoms you're trying to fix.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52634165543201,"sku":"W11629916","price":168.12,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/images_77.png?v=1777922330","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/w11629916-dishwasher-control-board","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
