My start buttons are not working on my Jenn Air and when I opened the control panel, there is Roach waste all over it…I am going to gently clean it off with alcohol and HOPE that that fixes it…is there a way to prevent these squatters from living inside my dishwasher?
Roach Prufe!
Get some, put it under your DW and kill all the roaches. It really works!
I am getting the Roach Prufe today!!! Thank you ThatGuy!!
So, I cleaned all the roach poop off gently with alcohol and q-tips (see before and after) but read in another thread (see attached) to remove ribbon cable and clean edge but I don’t think my ribbon cable can be removed. Is there anything else I can unattached and clean the poop to make sure it’s all clean (and HOPEFULLY working
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.
