My dishwasher suddenly stopped working. The lights and buttons on the control panel didn’t respond. A repair technician told me that the control panel, overlay tail and board needed to be replaced. I did. That didn’t work.
The next technician told me that the electric control assembly was bad, so I replaced that. It worked once perfectly, then stopped working again. No lights, no nothing.
Then we replaced the fuse kit. Nothing.
Any ideas? I’ve only had it for about a year and a half and hate to just trash it.
Thanks for helping. Yeah, power is coming in. I checked it at the fuse (which I replaced) and at several other points on the control panel.
I have power to the left door switch, but not the right- which is the pink wire. Are both door switches supposed to be hot?
Is there any visible way to tell if circuits are out on a control panel?

That depends on where your meter leads are, as you can see in the wiring diagram one is in the hot side and the other in the neutral of the line.
I would check them using ohms
OR
you could short the wires for each switch together, tape them up to be sure they cannot short to any thing else and give it a try
NOTE: The door switch in the neutral is just for the heater, power to the board is a direct connection.

Not really, unless a component is blown up or you see evidence of overheating.
Denman, thanks for the help. I think we’re on to something.
I checked the fuse again- it’s fine. As to the JMPs; they’re the wires in the circuit board that periodically surface for a half inch to an inch labeled JMP10, JMP16 etc. They all checked out fine with an ohm meter.
However, the P7 white to P8 tan did not show any current. This was with the door switch open and closed.
The P7 white to P2-6 (black and white micro) was fine.
