Do-It-Yourself Story

After removing and testing the continuity for the heating element, then the thermostat, I wasn't sure what to check next. I chatted online, and Susan suggested the control board was the most likely problem. I'm only somewhat handy, so I was nervous when the part didn't arrive with instructions. All I needed was a screwdriver to removed the front panel of the dishwasher (and to lift the tabs on the plastic housing of the control board), and it's clearly labelled as to where to plug in each wire group. Even with my 5 year old helping, it only took me 30 minutes to get the dishwasher running hot again!
