My dishwasher will not work on " normal wash, speed clean, or ultimate scrub".
Everything else works.
A troubleshooter at the factory told me to replace the main circuit board, which I did at a cost of $170.00. No help.
Now they recommend replacing the "control module" (65.00)
Am I throwing good money after bad?
:confused: could it be anything else?

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for Frigidaire FDB4315LFC0 Frigidaire/dishwasher | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is the tech sheet
http://manuals.frigidaire.com/p.../Kinston/154580201en.pdf

Most keypads are a matrix so if one of the tracks (wires) opens it effects a number of keys so odds are that it is a keypad problem.

The usual way to troubleshoot these problems is to check the keypad (console) with a meter and if that checks out OK replace the control board.
Unfortunately Frigidaire does not publish keypad schematics so you have to guess or try to figure out the key outputs.

You may want to try the following first.
Connector Cleaning / Checking
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
