Product review (5 stars): Dishwasher back up and running after the dreaded flashing clean light
After many hours of troubleshooting and hair pulling I finally traced the issue I was having with my Kenmore dishwasher to this board. I was having the flashing clean light issue that many other people are having. I had already replaced the heating element even though there was nothing wrong with the old one. I had replaced several of the thermal fuses that had burned out but I couldn't figure out why they were burning out. I suspected a bad relay on this board but I couldn't for the life of me find a replacement relay. It seems to me that in time the contact within the relay gets bad and causes the too much current draw overheating the thermal fuse. When I took the old board out I had found that the solder trace going to the heating element relay had burned off indicating an over current condition. The thermal fuses job is to prevent this over current from harming the board but because I had replaced it so many times the trace on the board finally burned off. Either way because I could not find a new relay I would have had to replace the entire board.
