Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• No keypad response, LEDs, or display when power and connections are otherwise confirmed
• Dishwasher does not start or advance through a cycle
• Drain function does not operate when commanded
• Wash or dry function is not initiated or completes incorrectly
• Intermittent operation or cycle-control problems

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the dishwasher has power by checking the circuit breaker, fuse, and accessible power/junction-box connections.
• With power disconnected, inspect the control-board and user-interface connectors for loose, damaged, or improperly seated terminals; reconnect them securely if needed.
• Check that the door latch closes and engages correctly, since the control monitors the door-switch circuit before operation.
• Use the appliance-specific service-diagnostics cycle, if available, to review stored error information and verify controlled functions.
• Do not perform live voltage testing unless qualified; Whirlpool service documentation identifies energized measurements as an electrical-shock hazard.
