We have a nice dishwasher however it is blinking…pots and pans and normal wash…we just replaced the control motherboard because it it was blinking on the normal wash button and would not go into wash. Could you please tell me if there is a computer reset for this machine that we have to go through after putting in a new board? Thanks so much:eek:

There is no specific reset that I know of.
Try unplugging/removing power from the unit for 5 minutes or so.
Blinking lights is often bad keys. It is often a crap shoot as to whether the control board or the control panel (keypad) is the cause. It sounds like you took a chance and lost and the control panel is the problem.

You could also try the following
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.
Note: There is always a possibility that you received a bad board.
