Ben for Model Number Kenmore Dishwasher 665.13844k601 I had a repair man come and look at the dishwasher. Lights on the control panel are not working correctly - however the dishwasher does go through cycles - tried hitting the reset buttons and nothing occurred. Repair man said need to replace the 'mother board'. Ok - know I am looking and I see a control panel and control board. Not certain which one to replace? Any idea as to how I can tell which one is not functioning? Thank you! Ben
Answer Hi. Remove the toe kick panel or the inner door panel to find the supplied user tech sheet. Find the supplied tech sheet inside the unit folded in a packet. This allows you to put the unit into a diagnostic mode. The machine self test each component one by one. If a fault code is found then it will pop it up. This allows the circuit and all devices to be tested as explained in the charts. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Usually a non- functioning white control panel is just that, it is part # WP8558209. The control board is part # WPW10084141. Thank You. Read More...
