This video, between 5:30 min and 7:10 min of the video, led me to believe it was the user interface module not the master control board.

Strange noise coming from the dishwasher, later a small leak appearing underneath
A noisy dishwasher and water coming from underneath was being caused by a torn hose that is factory connected to the diverter. It was a little difficult to see at first as the hose sits slightly kinked when in it's normal position. Access to the diverter involves removal of the circulation pump. I ordered a new diverter which comes with metal screw on clamps. The main difficulty in installing is the positioning and alignment of the diverter and pump. My first effort resulted in a ripping of the attached diverter hose as I attempted to secure. I ordered another diverter. This time I used a lubricant to allow movement of the connecting hoses and made sure to not overtighten the clamps. I used a small mirror to make sure that the various hoses sat properly. Alignment took a bit of time. I then gently tightened the hoses. I ran the dishwasher, and found a leak, meaning that I needed to tighten these clamps a bit more. This is a doable repair that needs patience. The dishwasher is now very quiet and runs great!

the hub that holds the spinner for the top water in the dishwasher broke
the design of this part is easy to break when closing the top rack.
there is a hub that clicks in place and a spinner within this that makes the water spray evenly on the top of the tub of the dishwasher
the part broke when closing the rack [a dish too tall hit it]
it took less than 5 minutes to replace as the part just clicks into two edge spots i did this without removing the rack or even looking into the tub all by feel

Thumping Sound during the WashRinse cycles
Chances are your Lower spray arm is worn or jets are off. Replacing this part is very easy. Grab the base of the lower spray arm, twist and pull straight up. Place the new one in and twist lock in place. Repair complete!

order #16343054 Complete service rack
this was ordered 4-9-21 and I have yet to receive it. Its difficult to explain the installation when you haven't received the main part. I paid for this but you have not shipped it. Very poor customer service.

No illumination on controls and no response from buttons
Shut off power to the unit, removed the front lower trim and under counter screws, then I disconnected the wiring from under the door leading to the UI at the top edge of the door. Removed the front door, separated and disassembled the outer door cover, I then removed the UI control board from its housing and the clear cover and reassembled the parts in reverse order and turned the power back on. FOLLOW the included instructions on connecting the pins on the new UI by cross reference the model number.

Dishwasher would not power up
This dishwasher started to not want to start about 1 year ago but on several attempts to start the dishwasher it would power up or start. On Christmas Eve 2021 I did a load of dishes and from that point on the dishwasher would not power up. Got on line and did some troubleshooting and felt the Control Panel was the problem. Ordered the replacement part from this website, the part arrived around January 1, 2022. Installed the new Control Panel yesterday and my dishwasher is now working great again. Thank you for the ability or order and fix my dishwasher

Water would not drain.
Unhook water line . Turn off power to dishwasher. Remove dishwasher from under counter. Lay it on its back. Loosen clamps on drain pump and remove pump. Install new drain pump and tighten clamps. Be sure to put hanger in the hole on the pump. Very easy job. Reinstall water line and put dishwasher back under counter. Turn on power to dishwasher. Go to go.

Dishwasher won't start.
Nightmare!!! The Striker latch did not pop out with a screwdriver as it was supposed to. The whole dishwasher needs to be disconnected and pulled out, then front door removed and totally disassembled to remove the screw to replace the striker latch. lots of work to replace a striker latch. Bad design!
