OT Dishwasher repair help

s power to the dishwasher. I measured power on both sides of the door switc h. There is 120 volts on both the brown and black wires with the door switc h enguaged. Also on the door switch are two white wires. I measure for some reason 100 volts on these.

he control board is about 100 bucks.

washer to investigate but they never came back on no matter how hard I trie d.

You've tested some of the 120VAC wiring, but the lights (and the panel) pre sumably operates off a lower voltage. Probably you have a broken wire or other intermittent connection in the low-voltage power section. That explains the dark panel and

If it were mine, I'd be doing diode-check and ohms check on the control boa rd (which presumably has the low-volt power parts) and looking at all the connecting wire (and p rinted wiring traces) with a lens. Most low-voltage power problems are mu ch less costly than a new control board.

I've "fixed" two dishwashers via the internet. One skipped the drain cycle, another got stuck in rinse mode. Most electronic controls have a reset or diagnostic cycle, the trick is to find the magic button sequence. One I found in a home repair forum, another required a $10 service manual download. Try googling your make and model nunber, or maybe just make, many controls are similar.
