Hi there,

For almost a year now my dishwasher would periodically beep like when the door was being opened. It was annoying, but it still worked. A few months ago it would sometimes be unresponsive to button presses, but cycling the circuit breaker would bring it back to life. This afternoon the breaker trick no longer worked. I managed to get access to the control board and the LED is blinking rapidly, which from what I can tell for this board means it is working properly. I'm really hoping it's not the UI board that needs replacing because from what I've seen it's laborious.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

This thread is how I helped another member fix his:

FIXED - DDT595SSJ5SS GE Adora Dishwasher No Display

My dishwasher is less than 3 years old. A few months ago, the display would randomly light up and beep. The dishwasher worked as it should other than that. We came back from vacation in May and it wouldn't work at all. A "technician" came out and said it was the main board but cold also be the...

If the door wire harness is good. Then its the UI Board that is the culprit, since the machine control board(underneath the dishwasher) is blinking.

Here's the user interface(UI) Board for your model: WD21X31910

Remember--->You have to set the personality jumpers on the new UI Board before you install it or it will not work, the instructions that came with the new UI Board show you how to do it.

This video gives you the general idea of how to replace it:

Hello again! Thank you for your help. It took me some time to get a multimeter and get the door off, but I did it! I tested the wire continuity from the two sides of the wire harness and it read roughly 0.8 ohms for each wire.

There are some black marks on the connectors on both sides of the wire harness, but nothing on the pins they plug into.

Yes, I see that, that's probably just black production markings. It doesn't look burnt.

So the problem seems its the UI Board.

Just posting for anyone who comes across this thread - this worked! The door disassembly was slightly different from the video but wasn't any more challenging.

Excellent, glad to hear the new UI Board fixed it.

Thanks for the update!
