Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Electronic Control Board (Part Number: OEM18040017)

1 Answer

Hello Catherine. If there is power to the board, but the panel does not light up, then the board is bad. You can try unplugging and reseating the ribbon cable to see if that helps, but usually it is a bad board or thermal fuse.

Hello James. Some models have the cover and some models do not. The video is a general repair video and is not model specific.

Jim Mitchell for Model Number KUDM01TJBT0

Hello. The nice lady on the phone told me to ask you my ? My control panel was 8530909 the new one I bought is 8564543. they are not even close. the old 1 has a bank of 4 terminals for power and a bank of 4 right beside it. It also has 2 flat blade terminals on the very front. the new 1 does not have either of these.The new 1 has 3 terminals at the back of the unit. Do I need an electrician to rewire something? Please HELP and THANX in advance. Jim

1 Answer

Jim, No you shouldn't need and electrician to rewire something. Several Dishwasher control boards now "substitue" to the WP8564543 / 8564543, including the 8530909. The replacement part should be a "straight across" replacement with one exception " Per Factory This Sub Should Only Have 3 Terminals The P4(Y). Terminal Which Was On The Oriiginal Control Has Been Removed and Not Used On This Control." You'll want to take the P4 connector and some electical tape, and tape the connector back to the wire harness, so it's out of the way and not in contact with the control or metal components. You should be fine from there on out.

Lee, part number WP8564543 is the electronic control board located behind the bisque colored panel. The bisque panel is part number 8531253 and has been discontinued. The black control panel, part number WP8531251, is still avaialble for your model. Thanks!

Edwin, You will want to check the heater circuit for your dishwasher as the clean LED blinking 7 times on your unit would be an indication that the heater circuit has failed.
