GE Dishwasher UI Board quick fix
Remove the capacitor right next to the connector on the UI board. 220mf 25v.
YES remove it , replacing the bad cap does not fix the issue. For all of those who have a dead UI board try this. It's a smoothing capacitor I'm assuming. No harm removing it at your own risk. For some reason this solved a completely dead board. This dishwasher will still randomly come on but I can live with it. Below is a list of revisions for the board replacement

Remove the capacitor right next to the connector on the UI board. 220mf 25v.

Just to be clear, remove that cap on the original board correct?

Yes, this is the latest updated UI Board that will solve this problem, including the random coming on when the dishwasher is not in use: Configured Ui Board WD21X31909
