The Control Unit is an OEM component specifically designed for Bosch dishwashers. It houses all of the electronic components that operate and monitor dishwasher functions.

• Failure to start or run through cycles normally  
• Error codes or blinking lights that can’t be reset
• Unresponsive or inconsistent responses to control input
• Inability to heat water properly for sanitization  

Causes include moisture damage, power surges that can fry circuitry, or normal component degradation over thousands of hours of operation.
