Is This the Right Part?
Common Symptoms
- Dishwasher does not start.
- Error code is displayed.
- Cycle stops mid-cycle.
- Controls do not respond.
Check Before Replacing
- Record any displayed error code and note whether the control panel responds before ordering a board.
- Confirm the dishwasher has household power and that the door fully latches; these conditions can also prevent a cycle from starting.
- With electrical power disconnected, inspect the control-board harness connections for a loose, damaged, corroded, or moisture-affected connector.
- Check that affected connected components and their wiring are evaluated as appropriate; a symptom involving a pump, fill valve, or wash motor does not by itself prove the control board has failed.
