1 Answer Hello Gary. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control board is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Arthur April 16, 2013 for Model Number Fridgidaire FDB4050LHB0 A week ago, the control panel seemed to work, but a few seconds after pushing start and closing the door the unit would time out. Then it started working again. Now, the unit is completely dead and nothing on the control panel lights up. Does this sound like a panel or a board problem? Is there a straightforward way to tell with a multimeter or ? Thank You!
1 Answer Hello Arthur. You will need to test for power going to the control board. If there is power there, you will need to order and replace the control board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Matt B April 02, 2013 for Model Number PLD4375RFC0 The unit will not pump the water out. All the pump does is make a clicking sound. I took it off and had it tested and its fine. All the connections look good. Where do I go from here?
1 Answer Hello Matt. Check and make sure there is no clogs in the unit. If not, and you have tested to verify proper voltage to the pump, but the pump does not run, you will need to order and replace the drain pump assembly 154580301 on the unit. These can test good, but actually be bad. Be sure and verify the voltage coming to the pump and look for clogs before replacing the pump assembly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

John W April 02, 2013 for Model Number GLD4355RFB3 Replaced the control panel. Checked the ribbon wire like you said still flashing the PF code. Could it be the console assembly.
John W. April 02, 2013 for Model Number GLD4355RFB3 Replaced the control panel and when I switched the power back on the PF lights just flash but the dishwasher doesn't work. What else could it be is there a reset or something?
1 Answer Hello John. Press the cancel/clear button on the control panel to clear the PF code. If that does not work, and the control panel is new, you need to check and make sure the ribbon cable is installed into the control board properly on the unit. If it is not, you will have issues with the unit not responding to buttons pressed on the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Harold. Yes, if the water shorted out the control board, you will need to order and replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
Norm March 08, 2013 for Model Number FDB4315LFC3 Frustrated! On my dishwasher, it stopped working one evening and I noticed that the front of the door was warm in the middle. I traced it down to the control panel getting hot. By testing some of the connections, it seemed that the control board was bad. There appeared to be areas where it had an arced (two dark places on the board near transistors). Just to be sure, I checked the door latch connection, and tried to make sure the power was dead ending in the board. So I replaced the board. Same thing as before. When I turn the power on, it heats up in the same area. I don't want to ruin this new board. Any ideas on what to check?
1 Answer Norm, You will want to check for wires that may be damaged that would cause the control to overheat and short to ground. Read More...
David December 22, 2012 for Model Number PLD4375RFC1 I HAVE AN ERROR CODE : ER U0. I called Frigidaire and was told that is has to do with the vent assembly and not communicating with the control board. Also that one of the cycle buttons may have been pushed one to many times before the cycle can complete. Re: the buttons, they told me to cut electric to the unit for 30 sec. and see if that resets the unit. It did not. I still get the ER UO blinking message. Is this a control board issue and can it be easily replaced?
1 Answer Hello David, For the UO error code you will want to check the wiring between the vent assembly and the main control. If wiring is correct then replace the vent assembly. If the error still exist then it would be the control board. With the ER error code it indicates a failure of the Membrane switch. You would want to check ribbon harness to ensure it is seated properly and that there is no corrosion on the cable. If all checks ok then you would want to replace the Membrance switch. If problem continues replace control board. Read More...
Dick November 17, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore 665.15954000 Thanks for feedback. Here's more detail. Dishwasher starts the longer cycles (Anti-Bac, Pots & pans and Normal) but stalls out after about 15-20 minutes. Machine keeps running (circulating water in the tub) but will not go beyond that point (84 min, 82 min and 76 min). It also skips some minutes on the way down. So it is not really running for the full 15-20 minutes. Water in tub is hot, but probably not hotter than input water. Sensor light is also on when it stalls out. For shorter cycle (Time Saver), there is no problem. Suggestions?
1 Answer Hi. Run the sink water and verify you have at least 120° incoming water temperature. Open the inner door to access the tech sheet. It is usually under the control panel or in behind the kick plate. It will show the circuit of the Thermistor part # WP8269208. Disconnect it from the control board and ohm out the circuit for. It should read 48-52k at room temperature, and 12-13k at 140°. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Thank You. Read More...
Dick November 08, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Elite Our dishwasher has begun stopping mid-cycle. Some 10-20 minutes after starting. This happens with the longer cycles. It does not happen with the shorter "time saver" cycle. I cleaned the entire machine (took it apart basically), but to no avail. I'm suspecting a faulty control panel. Any thoughts? Is this easy to replace?
1 Answer Hello Dick, If the unit is running into the cycle that long, I would suspect a water heating issue. Pull the tech sheet from behind the kick panel and check the components of the heating cycle and you will most likely locate the issue. If you require further assistance, please post the model number next time so we can concentrate on your specific model. Read More...
