For Whirlpool Electronic Control Board (Part Number: OEM18040017)

Hugh for Model Number KUDP01DLWH0

Went to try and run Kitchenaid DW, it has door top lighted buttons for the cycles and options. We normally run "heavy", "sani-rinse" and "energy saver dry". Today, the "energy saver dry" light doesn't come on when the button is pressed. Try to run anyway, and after the run button pressed, nothing happens. Removed power for a minute to clear electronics, and get the same result. When we press the "heavy" cycle button, the "sani rinse" light comes on as well. I suspect the control board, but what steps should I take to ensure that will fix the problem?

Hugh, You can get the tech sheet behind the kickplate and do a check on the control panel using the keychart on the tech sheet. If this checks ok then the control board would be the issue with the unit.

Ingrid, With the unit not finishing the cycle and the lock on and cancel blinking then this would most likely be a control board issue.

Hello Crusty, As per the tech sheet, the heating element should read between 10 to 35 ohms of resistance.

Rose, While we do not have the differences between the 2 boards, the most likely difference would be features on the unit. Unfortunately you can not switch one board out for another.

Hello Charles. Check for clogs. If none is found, then it sounds like the drain pump may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. If the impeller is loose, it can cause this issue.

Hi There, I have a Kenmore dishwasher and i've found that it has the same control board as the Whirlpool models. Recently i noticed the "pots and pan" button will not come on at all. It's has been working fine most of the time and all the other buttons seem to work and light up, No buttons are flashing. But now when i press the start button, i can hear the click,..but the dishwasher won't start it's cycle. Is it the control board or something else that needs replacement? thanks Michael.

Hello John. If you replace the harness and fuse and it blew again, you will need to order and replace the control board on the unit.
