Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dishwasher Control Board (Part Number: OEM18044859)

1 Answer

Hello Melissa. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Hope this helps. A rapidly blinking LED over one of the keys of the keypad (or sometimes a “dead” keypad/console) indicates one or more key switch lines are stuck or shorted on either the control or the keypad. To determine which one, do the following test: 1. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power. 2. Open console and disconnect the keypad ribbon connection from the control (at P1). Put console back together. 3. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power. 4. With door latched, disconnect and reconnect thermistor or OWI sensor two times in less than 6 seconds. 5. Wait 10 seconds, then monitor the control’s response to the thermistor: ?If the control is OK (no longer sees shorts with the keypad unplugged), it will respond by running service diagnostics. Listen for it to begin filling after it concludes the 5–10 second display test at the beginning of the service diagnostics cycle. Check and/or replace the keypad if the control responds OK. ?If the control is not OK (still sees shorts with the keypad unplugged), then it will NOT respond to the thermistor at all and will remain off after 10 seconds go by. Make sure the keypad is unplugged for this test. Confirm that all other connections are made, the console and door are reassembled, power is back on, and the door is latched; then repeat steps 1-5 above. If still no response, replace the control.

Hello Phil. You will need to test the thermal fuse WP661566 and the heater W10518394 and see if they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Hope this helps.

Test and see if you have power coming to the motor. If there is no power going to the motor, then you will need a new control board. Here is the part number.WPW10084141
