Randomly the display on my GDT635HSJ2SS GE Dishwasher stopped turning on. Didn't respond to any button presses. I ignored it and magically the next day it was working as normal again. Unfortunately, a week later it didn't turn on again.
Learning from this site I performed Main Control Board check.
Status LED solid green - check
120V supplied at junction box - check
14v supplied to UI harness - check
Ok, UI board must be bad so I ordered a UI board. The next day, the stupid dishwasher was magically functioning again without any changes.
The UI board arrives in the mail a few days later, I go check on the dishwasher, it's not functioning.
- "Start" light blinking green
- Orange light near handle is blinking
- 3 beeps every few seconds/minutes
- dishwasher doesn't start
Ok... this normally means the door latch is broken and doesn't get detected as CLOSED, But I am thinking it's just the UI Board acting up again so I replace the UI board (personality 11) as planned.
After the replacement nothing changes. It still has the same problem, the machine still thinks the door latch is not closed. Pissed, I go check the Main Control Board
Status LED is now permanently off. What the crap!
I am trying to figure out if I just wasted $120 on a UI Board when the Main Control Board was the problem all along. But then why was the Status LED green the first time I checked it.
What do you think? Should I order a new Main Control Board?
Hoping someone can help me before I lose more hair.
Update: After plugging and unplugging the power chord a few times, it ran like normal again... wtf...
