This electronic control board is the dishwasher's main "brain," coordinating the fill, wash, drain, and dry sequences. Replacing a failed board can restore normal operation when the dishwasher is unresponsive, won't start cycles, or behaves erratically.

• Directs power and timing to valves, pumps, and heater for each cycle step
• Monitors inputs from sensors and the door latch to advance or pause the cycle
• Communicates with the user interface for button inputs and status lights
• Typical failure symptoms: no power to controls or won't start; stops mid-cycle or won't advance; blinking lights or error codes; intermittent operation

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; verify no power at the dishwasher
• Access location varies by model; commonly behind the lower toe panel in a protective control housing
• Handle the board by the edges and use ESD protection; move wire connectors one at a time to the new board and secure the housing
• After installation, run the built-in diagnostics per the tech sheet; some models may require control configuration
