Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dishwasher remains unresponsive or does not begin a cycle.
• A cycle stops or fails to progress normally.
• Wash, drain, or heating functions may not operate when the control board is defective.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm that WD21X27138 is the correct board for the complete dishwasher model number before diagnosing the part.
• Verify the dishwasher has incoming power and that the breaker, GFCI, junction-box wiring, and power connections are intact.
• Check that the door is fully closed and that the door-latch circuit is not preventing operation.
• With power disconnected, inspect accessible wiring harnesses, connectors, and the board area for loose connections, corrosion, moisture, or visible burn damage.
• Do not condemn the control board solely from a no-start symptom; rule out power, door-latch, wiring, and user-interface issues first.
