Thanks for your help, as its 12 years old I shall buy a new dishwasher, its not worth paying for either a professional diagnosis or a new control board. I should have bought a Miele, they seem to last longer. 🙂
I’ve had it out and there was no sign of anything obvious. There is nothing black or burnt. If its the mainboard its probably not worth fixing. Time for a new one 🙁
I’m a bit confused with this. The only way I get a voltage reading from the control panel is if I have my black lead on the dishwasher chassis. If I simply attach both the black and red probes to any 2 contacts on the control panel I get zero volts. If I attach black to the chassis and red to any contact I am currently getting 3.5v
My knowledge of electrics is very basic but I understand a simple circuit. For most things to work they need an earth or neutral and then a live to form the circuit. On the control panel I can’t see how its getting its earth or neutral. Its plastic with no grounding and the 6 wires coming in are all live. Is that why my machine is dead ?
I just tested with my multi meter putting the black lead on the Dishwasher chassis and probed the contact points with the red live probe. I guess I am doing it wrong. Hows should I test it?
Yes, its getting power. There is a multi connector on which attaches to the right in the photo above. It has 6 yellow wires coming in and all 6 have about 4v on my multi meter. Curiously its the same no matter what I do with the main on off switch. Its 4v on each of the 6 connections whether its on or off. There is also a connection point with 3 contacts top right in the photo. It has no plug attached to it on mine (diagnostic access point ? ) and all 3 contacts have around 4v going to them, again regardless of where the main on off switch is
