Bosch 00676967 Dishwasher Control Unit OEM Part

We looked around on the internet to see if others had the same problem. It appeared that about 95% of the time it was the control panel. There was a YouTube of the repair that we watched. What convinced us was Appliance Parts Pro's promise that the part could be returned if it didn't fix the problem. Before we took off the old part, we took a picture of how the wires were plugged in. The dishwasher now works perfectly! Did I mention that we are in our mid sixties?

After having a repairman visit and quote $295 for a new controller unit, plus $200 labor, I decided to try FIY. We paid the repairman's $75 call fee without a second thought, as he identified the problem and the bad part. A neighbor helped me remove the many screws (starbit) and pull the door apart to locate the controller unit. (after we shut off power to the machine at the breaker box). We took an iPhone photo of the controller unit and put the door back together. We looked online at several sites for the part, but AppliancePartsPros.com not only had the part (Part 00676967), but also had the customer support by phone to steer us to their picture of the part, matching the photo we took. I paid $169 for the part (free shipping) and my neighbor and I installed it easily. It now works like new.

Removed and replaced

I ordered a new Bosch dishwasher control unit from AllianceParts. They did a great job as I ordered the wrong controller by mistake - it came really quickly (like in 2 days). I called and they send out the correct one and I got that in 2 days as well (regular shipping). The problem was that the model number was missing from the dishwasher and the manual only listed the base # so I got the wrong controller at first. When I pulled the old one I sent a photo to ApplianceParts and they identified the correct model as an SHV46C13UC/46 rather than the model SHV46C13UC/21 (incorrect) I initially ordered for. This is a Bosch refrigerator with a custom wooden panel. Some of the Torx screws in the door remove the wooden panel, others remove the stainless part of the door and still others remove the control panel unit at top. It is important to have something underneath as these can fall on the floor as you unscrew them. Replacing the controller was just a matter of plugging out some connectors and putting in the new controller and plugging them back in. I took a photo on my iPhone before I unplugged anything so I knew where everything went on the new unit.

I took the door apart to check the switch and control board. The switch looked okay but there was a definitely burnt electronics smell. When I removed the control board I could see the board was burned around the relays. The board was not repairable due to the condition of the pc board. I ordered the control unit from Appliance Parts Pros. I received the part in two days and once it was installed it worked.
