• Controls cycle timing and communicates with sensors
• Distributes power to the wash motor, drain pump, inlet valve, and heater
• Works with the door latch and user interface to start/stop the cycle
• Failure may cause no power/won't start, stalled cycles, blinking lights/error codes, or incorrect filling, draining, or heating

• One main control board kit

• Disconnect power at the circuit breaker; turn off water if moving the dishwasher for access
• Board is typically in a housing beneath the unit—use ESD precautions and keep connections dry
• Photograph/label wire harnesses; transfer connectors one at a time to the new board
• Restore power and run a test or rinse cycle to proper operation
