How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6014482 / WP99002824 Control Board Assembly

Replaced the control board after removing the inner door liner, plastice board cover and board itself, by removing screws, working various plastic clips/tabs and unclipping wire harnesses from board. most of time was spent cleaning the black soot from the door, which had a terrible burnt electrical/plastic fire smell. Cleaned mold/scale off of as much of the door as I could while in there as well. Removing parts without breaking plastic tabs to hold the new parts was trickiest part. 

Replaced controller board. Spline wrench is needed to open door panel. Probing with voltmeter helped isolate problem to board. 

We checked online for people with similar problems and found out it was probably the control panel. We oredered the part and it was pretty easy to install. The dishwasher now works perfectly. 

I'm 63 years old and like to fix things on my own when possible. Followed all tips on web page. Used a piece of duck tape to hold outer side of door up while working on inside of door where board is located. Took picture of wiring with phone camera. Had to use plyers on one stubborn plug. Numbed plugs 1 through 6 with marker pen just to be double sure when replugging in to new board. Dish washer working again. 

I went to run the dishwasher but it did not start and there were no panel lights. I checked and confirmed the circuit breaker had not tripped. I unplugged the power cord and removed the interior door panel to see if I could determine the problem. Note, when you remove the cover panel, the door will not stay open as there is less weight on it, so it is necessary to put something to keep it down. I used a small 1 lb plastic-coated dumbbell. I noted an electrical smell and saw some discoloration on a part of the control board. I carefully unplugged all the connectors, taking pictures before so I could tell where they went, but they are pretty easy to figure out. I then removed several screws holding the board and pried the tabs holding it in place. The back of the board clearly has a section shorted out and needed to be replaced. AppliancePartsPros.com. has the best price and I ordered a new Control Board Assembly. It arrived within a couple of days. I put it back carefully, reconnected all the plugs and closed and screwed in the door panel. Plugged the power cord, and ran a rinse cycle to check the function. Everything worked again. Yay. 

Ordered the board. Took longer than expected, installed as per youtube video, carefully removed spade connectors from the old board, replaced on new and clipped into place, reenergized circuit and viola! works like new! Thanks AppliancePartsPros.com. 

Found part via Appliance Parts Pros web site, ordered and received promptly. Installed new control board, problem resolved. 

Ordered control board from your company-by the way it came really quick. replaced board. 

I had family coming to visit for the holidays and the dishwasher choose this time to stop working. I was able to troubleshoot it and determine the main board was bad. I found a replacement part at Appliance Pros at a very reasonable cost (half what another supplier was charging). The part was ordered and shipped the same day. It arrived within 2 days and fixed my problem. 

Isolated power source. Opened up door panel, disconnected all pigtail connectors, reinstalled pigtail connectors, put door panel back together, re-energized appliance. Test ran unit with no issues.
