Burned Burnt Kenmore Kitchenaid Whirlpool Maytag Control Board
Mine is a Kenmore Elite. After 7 years and countless dish loads, the board overheated at the 3 pin connector. The board failed and blew the thermal fuse also. I replaced the board and fuse, and replaced the connector with insulated spade connectors. This is a design problem with these dishwashers and the power or load connectors are not robust enough to last the lifetime of the dishwasher. I am sure mine will last another 7 years.
Works great, but it wasn't the only bad part
The board works fine, but I also had to replace the dispenser and the control panel.
Before replacing this board I'd recommend testing the dispenser solenoid with an ohmmeter. It should read several hundred ohms. Total parts plus express shipping added up to a third of the retail price of the washer, but it is now working better than it has for a couple of years.
The washer is well designed from a repair standpoint. The parts were easy to replace.
Partsimple makes it....well...simple!
Good shipping. Well packaged. They recycle too! If you are going to keep the stuff working......use these guys! They will help you and you can help the next person with a refurb!
