GE model DDT595SMJ2ES, I have read several other threads here and ended up eventually replacing both the main board and then the ui board. I set the jumpers per my model (ddt595) as per the instructions.

I now at least hear the chime when I push some of the buttons, but they don't do what they should. Trying to go into csm mode doesn't do anything that I can tell.

The 3 digit display never comes on and if push Wash Zones button it will eventually cycle through showing the led for Steam, Boost and Heated Dry (it chimes with each button push).

I'm not sure what else to try, I've already spent almost half of a new dishwasher and I feel like I'm close to getting it working and hoping it's something small I've forgotten to do.

Let's make sure you have the correct UI Board installed and the jumpers set properly.

Here's the UI Board for your model: WD21X31910

Here's a post in this thread that has a video to show you how to set the jumpers properly:

FIXED - DDT595SMJ0ES UI Board Part Number Confirmation

I am having trouble with my User Interface Board, it is unresponsive and the main control board has a STEADY ON green LED. I have found a couple of posts with similar symptoms: Post 78436 and post 80234. I still need to perform the measurements recommended by these posts to confirm the board is...

His model uses that exact same UI Board as yours does.

When I was doing research it looked like the part# I got replaced older models. The one I have says WD21X23461 on the outside of the box. When I look at the actual boards they have the exact same model and rev (see attached). So now I'm confused; is it the right part or the wrong one?

 

[killersquirrel]

Sorry, I meant the one I got has been replaced by the newer model you specifiied. Since this is the original model # shouldn't it still work? I checked my jumpers and they were 1-1-1-0 for the 595 personality. Did I get a bad board?

Jake, see above with the side by side of the old ui vs new. Am I correct that it seems to be the right board? Is there anything else I can check or did I get a bad ui board? Thanks!

WD21X23461 was the old part number, it has been replaced with WD21X31910

You would think so if its a brand new OEM one.

Is there anything else I can check or did I get a bad ui board?

It sounds like a bad UI Board if you have the jumpers set properly, contact the place where you got it from and let them know, they should either send you another one, or refund your money.

That was it... got a bad UI board. After weeks and weeks I finally got a good board installed and I once again have a dishwasher!

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

Thanks for the update!

This brings hope to all of us! Would love to sit in my kitchen again, sipping coffee and listening to the soothing sounds of water rushing over my dishes, soap being dispensed and finally The Little GE Tune at the end of the cycle!

Thanks so much for posting.

Sounds good Rosy, glad to hear that.
