Common dishwasher repair parts you may need
Replacing one of these dishwasher parts may fix your problem.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
If the display on your dishwasher isn't working, it might be due to a faulty electronic control board. This board is responsible for sending power to the control panel to activate the display. When the display is unresponsive, it could be because the electronic control board isn't sending electrical current to the control panel. Repairing this kind of dishwasher problem requires advanced technical knowledge. It's best to have a Sears Home Services Technician diagnose and repair the issue to get your dishwasher back in working condition.
User Interface Control Replacement
When you find the dishwasher display isn't working, it could be because the user interface control is damaged. This control is connected to the electronic control board with a wire harness and sends signals to help control the dishwashing cycle. A faulty power key on the user interface control can stop the dishwasher from turning on. Additionally, if a key on the user interface control is stuck, it can cause the electronic control board to halt the cycle, making the dishwasher unusable until the damaged user interface control is repaired. It's best to have a Sears Home Services Repair Expert come to your home and replace the user interface control if it's damaged.
Power Supply Board Replacement
If your dishwasher display isn't functioning, a damaged power supply board might be the cause. The power cord links directly to the power supply board, which then provides power to the electronic control board to activate and operate the dishwasher. If your dishwasher is completely unresponsive despite receiving power through the cord, it's necessary to have a Sears Home Services Technician inspect the power supply board and replace it if it's found to be damaged.

Consequently, do-it-yourself repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming progressively more difficult.

Thorough
James called to give an estimated arrival time. He was professional and personable. He had 2 professional ideas of the problem and found 1 was correct, but he didn't stop there. He did a thorough check of the appliance. 1 small part was needed. He ordered the part to my house. Fortunately, he was able to schedule for the next week, just before Thanksgiving. As before, he called ahead, arrived and quickly fixed the problem. My appliance is working perfectly.
