The Quick Wash button blinked continually. Dishwasher wouldn't work at all
I read online about a few other people who had the blinking light problem. Suggestions were to press a series of other buttons in sequence. Didn't work. I went to the advice website and paid $24 to be told it was the control board. I ordered a control board. As I was preparing to install it, I noticed a black spot on the ribbon connector that was across two of the printed (?) flat wires. I gently scraped it off. It was shorting the two flat wires. I put it all back together with the old board, and all is working well. It's been a week.

Basket was broken
Sorry -- but my 5 yearold replaced this broken item -- He helped by slipping off the old broken one and sliding in the new one -- No tools were necessary -- after all it was the silverware basket ...

change front panel
easy as long as you have the right tool to take the panel off, maybe they could include one for people who don't have a good selection of tools. Thankfully we did.

Lights came on but dishwasher wouldn't work
Pulled out the screws to the panel. Did a visual inspection and noticed a burn mark on a terminal on the circuit board. Replaced the board and now had no lights. Made sure the breaker wasn't tripped and than followed power through the dishwasher and it went to the fuse on the circuit board that you have to take from the old board and put it on the new board. Well anyway, the fuse was blown and had to get one of them. Now dishwasher works.

The dishwasher would not dry (heat)
First I identified the problem by checking the plug ends of the heater coil with an ohm meter. I quickly odered the part and when it arrived a few days later, I simply pulled off the electrical connectors, unscrewed the two bolts, removed the old/broken coil, put in the new coil and tightened down the nuts snuggly.
Nothing to it. I then had to reset the error code and it is working like new.

Dishwasher died
1. Opened inside panel (about 8 screws)
2. Checked wires to see if we had power, which led me to the fuse.
3. All wires were hot, so I bypassed fuse straight to the motor, which worked.
4. Took out the fuse, didn't really know for sure whether it was bad yet, googled the part number and it led me to PartSelect.com!
5. Ordered part (it arrived in two days!) and replaced existing fuse and WE ARE WASHING DISHED AGAIN!!
