So I think I need to replace the control board.
Dishwasher will fill up with water, but it doesnt really do anything with it, does pump it out eventually, dry, etc. Detergent is still in there.
Did a diagnostic and I get error code 7-1 for heating element
I checked it with a multimeter and it is fine.
After being unplug for awhile, like days, I found the post about the clean light flashing up top, I tried something similar to that as I didnt have the same buttons, no lights or anything, but when I connected power, no error codes. It ran for about 4 cycles no problem, didnt seem to clean quite as well sometimes, but mostly good.
Then I got error code 7-1 again. So Broke, magically started working again, then broke again.
It isn't the heating element, so it has to be the control board right? They look pretty easy to replace.
I know its still under warranty for the ECB, but only for the part, service and installation I'd have to pay and it would probably be cheaper for me to just replace it.
Anything else it could be? Any idea why it started working again for no reason and then stop again?
