Common Symptoms
- Buttons or controls do not respond after basic power and door-latch checks.
- Dishwasher stops mid-cycle.
- Dishwasher does not fill, drain, or operate the spray system when the related load is not being energized by the control.
- Cycle timing or overall operation is abnormal.
- Dishwasher lights may flash or blink.
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the dishwasher has power by checking the household breaker or fuse and verifying the power connection according to the appliance installation instructions.
- Confirm the door is fully latched and that the control lock or delay settings are not preventing operation.
- With power disconnected, inspect the control-board harnesses and connectors for loose, damaged, or corroded connections; reconnect only if the connection is clearly loose.
- If the dishwasher is unresponsive, check the thermal fuse and other power-supply components before condemning the control board.
- Use the model-specific service diagnostics procedure, where available, to distinguish control, user-interface, wiring, and load-component faults.
Pro Tip
A dishwasher that will not power up is not automatically evidence of a failed control board; verify the breaker, wiring, thermal fuse, door-latch circuit, and control connections first.

Installation Notes
- Disconnect electrical power before accessing or replacing the control assembly.

- Transfer or reconnect wiring only as shown in the model-specific technical documentation; do not force connectors or alter the harness.
- Restore all panels and protective covers before reconnecting power and testing the dishwasher.
- Because the assembly presents an electrical-shock hazard and may require model-specific diagnostics, use a qualified appliance technician if unsure.
