This forum has been very helpful for me in getting this far.
Dishwasher was randomly making beeps when not in use then randomly would "turn off". Power cycled via circuit breaker and in a few days or so issue would return.
I removed the dishwasher to look it over and saw fine black powder coming from the circulation pump. I assumed this was the issue, and replaced the pump.
The issue still occurred, then checked the MC board Status LED. The light would be green 1x approx 2.5 seconds which is confusing.
I found a service manual that outlines the Blink Patterns/Meaning for my unit, which appears to be one of the following (based on the service guide I found):
#1 sounds more in line based on the blink pattern but doesn't make sense to me as this doesn't seem to indicate a problem.
#2 sounds more like my problem, and if that is it, how do I tell whether to replace UI or MC?
I currently have the correct UI replacement board on hand but want to make sure it's the UI before installing. Can't afford to keep "throwing" parts at this.
Thanks!
