We were not getting power to the control panel
The repair made it necessary to remove the door of the dishwasher. Removing the door seemed to be a daunting task, but after watching a YouTube video I made myself aware of the necessary steps to complete the task.
- After turning off the power to the dishwasher, I removed the kickplate panel, this gave access the wiring going to the defective board, which I unplugged.
- Removed the screws securing the dishwasher to the counter, these are located at the top of the machine and are accessible by opening the dishwasher door.
- Pull the dishwasher forward a few inches.
- On each side of the door is a spring loaded device that holds the door from falling open when not latched. They can be identified as white plastic items with a cable connected to them. Once removed take care to not allow the door to fall open, instead, when opened slightly raise the door off the unit.
- Lay the door on the floor.
- There are three sheetmetal screws on each side of the door, using your nut driver remove these screws. They secure outside of the door to the inner door.
- Stand the door up on the floor and raise the outer door panel, there are several plastic clips on each side the slide into slots on the inner door panel. I found it a little difficult to separate the panels, but with gentle persuasion they came apart.
- Lay the inner panel on the floor with the exposed electrical components facing up.
- At the top of the inner panel is a black plastic cover protecting the electronic components, this where the control panel lives.
- Remove the sheetmetal screws that secures this plastic cover.
- There are two wiring harnesses, remove them.
- The defective component can be lifted out.
- Install the new control panel.
- Reassemble.

Lower try rusting out
Part was incorrect Compare that to GE site saying number on both ports to different parts try to return was half the course of what I paid ridiculous So apparently I'm stuck with it Check GE site you'll see the port is different from what your sound but the numbers are exactly the same No clips to support the utensil tray

Old Dishwasher Rack Was Rusted
Piece of cake! Slide old rack out, slide new one in. I wish I had known about this website sooner, would have changed this rack out 2 years ago. Yes, it’s a little different shape than the old one, and Yes, I can no longer put my silverware on the door. BIG DEAL! I would rather move a few dishes around than spend $700. on a new dishwasher. Tell your friends about this website, that will thank you.
