My defrost heater burned out so I read up on related problems and repairs. I tested the thermistors and the thermostat and found no problems so I replaced the heater and it burned out within a day. I suppose it must be the mother board. Any suggestions?

Cannot find any info on this unit.
When I search at AppliancePartsPros just dishwashers come up.

How do you know the new heater burned out?

The below assumes that it is a North American model.

The control board cannot cause a heater to burn out.
The maximum/input voltage in the unit is 120 volts and the heater is made to run on 120 volts.
So unless you hooked the new heater up wrong or it was defective it should still be OK.
