Dishwasher has been working fine for 5 years. It gets used about everyday or every other day. I went to use it and nothing works on control panel. No beeps or lights. The start light blinks about every 5-10 seconds. I have taken the bottom panel off and checked that I have 110 and I do. I am assuming it is the control panel. Is there anyway to check these out?
With the door closed and the light blinking, do you hear any noise?
No, No noise.
keep door closed, unplug the dishwasher, or turn the breaker off for 1 minute, and power back up, keep me posted
Unplugged for 3 minutes with door closed. I get same thing. Start/reset button blinks, 5 second delay, blink, 10 second delay, blink, keeps going on this pattern. I have tried holding the heat dry button to unlock panel but that didn’t do anything. No other lights are lit.
Try holding pot&pans and normal wash buttons down for 3-5 seconds see if anything happens
Nope that did nothing.
hang tight
door closed, push cookware or pots and pans, and heated dry together for 3-5 sec…make sure the lock light is off first
Nope that did nothing.
you may be looking at replacing you board, but lets try a couple more things. can you take the screws out from around the door to get inside the door panel?
yes, appreciate the help also.
door panel is off
sorry…disconnect the ribbon cable and the white and black leads at the board
k, did that
put the ribbon cable back in first, then the white blackplug, see what happens
That was the trick. Pulled ribbon, pulled white/black, reinstalled ribbon then white/black and everything came back to life.
Thanks you very much. you are a pro!![]()
Sweet, another one down
glad I could help
If it happens again I’d replace the membrane.
You would replace the board, not the membrane
