Greetings - the dishwasher I referenced in the OP of this thread has been working relatively well for the past six years. Recently, it started acting up in that it stopped drying the dishes, and the front panel buttons would not work consistently. I diagnosed it as a bad control board and ordered a replacement board (part W10804111). Upon removing the old board this evening I discovered the reason why the old board was malfunctioning. The 4-wire power connector had 2 of its wires severed and the connector itself is burnt and melted in multiple places. Wondering if there might be some way to obtain just a replacement connector? It's the one identified as P4 on page 4 of the tech sheet. The various parts sites say they can obtain a replacement wire harness via special order, but that seems like overkill when all I really need is just the connector. If that's not possible, is it generally very difficult to replace the entire harness? I haven't traced all the wires back to their source yet. Basically wondering if it makes sense to put more money into repairing it or just cut our losses and move on to a newer model.

Jeff, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, I just purchased a used dishwasher off of Craigslist. Full Kenmore model number is 665.15113K214. Shorter model number is 665.1511. The unit is missing the tech sheet, and the previous owner said he can't locate it anywhere.

The unit is reported to receive power (indicated by a control panel light) but will not start when pressing the relevant control panel button. Is it likely to be a bad door switch or latch? If so, any way to test those without the tech sheet info?
