Control Panel Display Not Lit

Dishwasher Repair

The control panel display (clock, temperature, timer) dimmed over a few day period and is now completely dark. Oven and oven light works fine. Is this an easily repairable problem, and what part should I replace?

Thanks

Here are your parts. Your model number seems to be short a few digits.

This is usually the control board.

There are a number of electrolytic capacitors on the control board, one of them has started to leak and will not hold the voltage to drive the display. I am not sure which capacitor it is. Most people just replace the display board.
But if you have some electronics experience the board can be repaired by replacing the bad capacitor.
Note: These capacitors are polarized so it is important to get the negative and positive legs correct.

Here is a thread about this problem
