Theoldman for Model Number JDB1250AWR Many of the keypad lights failed awhile ago but if I press Start, then Normal Cycle, it usually works. But sometimes it stops before it opens the detergent dish which makes me think that it's running a short or rinse only cycle. If I then unplug it overnight and try again in the morning, it works (the lights still don't work but it runs the entire cycle) and will continue to work for a few more times. If the plug were more convenient, I would simply unplug it after every use. Pulling the plug for just a few minutes does not work, it must be at least 6-10 hours in my emprical testing. This leads me to think that it is not the keypad but rather the controller. BTW the model list shows JDB1250AWR10 but the plate in my dw just has JDB1250AWR. It does has another number 10736581LJ which I figured is the s/n. Anyway let me know what you think. (Thanks for your help/part on my JennAir stove last year, it works great now!)
Answer OldMan, The Control panel/Keypad assembly, 6-919765 is the issue. Depending on the degradation of the circuit board, determines the length of time it takes to "recover". And there's always a possibility of a circuit failure on the cancel pad, that turns the machine off. It's a pretty simple and quick repair. Turn power off to the dishwasher. Remove the inner door panel screws(torx screws) separate the liner from the door panel, Unplug the wiring to the detergent dispenser, remove the screw in the board cover and disconnect the ribbon from the control board. and remove the remaining two screws. Slide the outer door panel up and off the door assembly, Then slide the door insulation down and remove the three 1/4 in. hex head screws from the lower inner door panel and slide the control pnel up and out of the door assembly. Reverse the procedure and check for proper operation. Good Luck and Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, June 14, 2012
