Robert for Model Number MDBH969AWS3 It will not run,when I push the start button on the control panel it blinks three times and will not start. All the other lights when you push light up but when you go to the run the dishwasher and push the start button all it does is blinks three times. Also checked the ribbon and it is in good shape. Powered down dishwasher and tried to pull the ribbon out of Main Control Board and plug back in and same problem. I have had four people tell me Main Control Board and five other's that it's the Control Panel. I don't have $300-350 to do both,can you HELP???? Have done the thermal fuse already
Answer Robert, This issue does not sound like a control board or a control panel but you can eliminate the control panel by doing a keypad check. If you access the tech sheet located behind the toe panel, it has a keychart that you can use to test continuity of the switches in the keypad. The most likely cause for this issue will be a door switch issue. By design during a cycle, if the door is opened the keypad will flash for the start until it is pushed. If the door switch fails then it will cause the light to flash. The first thing to do is confirm that the door is latching. If the door is latching properly then you will want to test the door switches for continuity while checking the mechanical operation of the latch assembly. Make sure that the switches are not loose from the assembly. If the door latch and switches check ok then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
