@@nichetcher1 check your local mom and pop shops. Give them a call and see if they have the part in stock. A lot of these dishwasher parts are interchangeable between similar models.

My dishwasher stopped working and I've been troubleshooting it for 2 weeks now. I found the solution to fixing the problem thanks to your video. Nowhere else online told me much of anything past "replace your control board." Which didn't solve the issue completely. Turns out I needed to put power back into the board before plugging the door's harness back in, after replacing my control board. After checking that the voltage on the door's power outlet on the control board was correct, of course. Now my dishwasher is back up and running all because someone finally went over info that other people didn't seem to include. I appreciate this video!
It was that little Bad Boy plug for me too. Thank you !! I'm an Industrial refrigeration & HVAC tech. Can't stand working on little stuff I can barely fit my hands. Was about to order a new one instead. my wife is happy and she thanks you too. btw mine is a GE model GDF630PSM3SS
Well technically it’s supposed to be 16 volts according to their documentation, but it’s been working with mine and a lot of people at 30. Not sure for how long though. To put it bluntly I’d say you have either an issue with the UI board or the control board. I’d swap out the control board first as it’s definitely the easiest.
@@BreakFixRepair boyfriend replace the control board ans I replaced the UI, still nothing 😅😅 I have 120v going to the machine and 14v going to the UI. I guess he's had to flip the breaker off and on to get it to run for Idk a month? Couple months?
In my experience cycling power is going to be a short-term fix. I do several of these a week. Sometimes a firmware update with the GE Service Tool solves the problem. Also When you're checking voltage at pins 2 and 5, if you use needle leads and back probe to the harness it's way easier. voltage from the control board should be 14 volts. It could be a little bit one way or the other but if it's way out of variance or no voltage it should be replaced. If I have a bad control board I replace both boards. If I'm getting good voltage from the control board I only replace the ui.
Thank you. I was hoping to help some people that may not have the money to replace such an expensive part at the moment. I ran about 10-15 cycles through this one after and it seemed to be okay for those. I suppose we will see! Thank you for your input.
Hi there. Thanks for your video. My DW is a GE GDP615HYNOFS although it still works after I reset the circuit breaker. Here is the problem: After the machine washes the dishes I empty it out the DW and in a short while there will be a beep that continues to beep every half hour or so for a few days until ( I dont use it everyday) the machine turns completely off and wont be able to be used till I restart turning off the breaker for 10 to 15 min and turn it back on. Only then the machine comes back to life and I can run it again. Do you think the replacing the control board will solve the problem or could it be the other board at the control panel on top of the door? Thank you!
My control panel was dead. I did what he said by disconnecting the power at the two plugs and the main power plug outside of the dishwasher and it started right up!
I’m glad this worked for someone else. I can’t imagine all the people that have replaced their control board or bought a new dishwasher before trying this. Thanks for leaving a comment and letting me know the good news!!! Have a great day!!
@@MrMikeXsome GE dishwashers have an issue where the UI board and the Control board have an issue that essentially burns out the control board, it will make all sorts of wonky sounds and the LED will do weird things... The problem is it's almost worth it to buy a new dishwasher because most people I've talked to that have this issue end up replacing both multiple times so it ends up just being worth it to get a Bosch dishwasher instead (GE products have gone downhill.
I have the same problem. Dead U/I panel. I replaced the main power supply/control board but still dead. You did not mention a green LED on the board. Mine has it and it lights up steady. Another video said if the LED is on steady, then comms between the control board and U/I board is missing. Also, you measured 30 volts on pins 2 and 5. Supposed to be 13.5 volts on my board, as well as another video pointed out. I would have liked it if you re-measured the voltage on your new control board to see if is still 30 or 13. I still haven't fixed my DW as of this writing.
The biggest point of the video was showing that I fixed this one by just unplugging the connections, plugging them back up, and turning it back on, which seemed to have worked for a few other people already. Since you’ve already replaced the control board then the likely cause of the issue is the UI board. My board works around 30 volts but the documentation I’ve found shows 13.5v so it’s unfortunately a little fuzzy on the actual voltage we should be getting between those two pins. some work on 13.5 and some 30 it seems.
so last night I did the unplugging two things then plugging them back in and it worked ! the lights came back on but since I already did the dishes I did not use the dish washer last night. I heard it making the beeing noises again last night and sure enough all the power was off again this morning . This afternoon I did it again and it worked again so I immediately did a wash. So I am looking forward to seeing what will happen tomorrow if it keeps happening what should I replace on my GE GDF640HGM2WW ?
If it keeps happening I’d replace the control board. It’s a cheap alternative to replacing the whole dishwasher. If you need help finding the part I’ll be happy to help.
@@BreakFixRepair Thank you ! I did get to do a wash last night and after I opened it up to get coffee cups out this morning it started making those sounds again beeping ones ! anyway please tell me how to obtain that part and where to buy it at and if so a link to a youtube video of how to replace one ! thanks again
Here you go: www.searspartsdirect.com/product/5t514ygn1m-0022-363/id-wd21x32165 I typically use my amazon link to earn commission but the price is almost double and I couldn't live with myself doing that :) There's a slightly cheaper price at a different website but the reviews of it are horrible so this is the best I've found. Hope this helps!
I have a similar issue that I cant seem to pinpoint. My dishwasher will lose power, just like everyone else watching this video, howveer, when I am able to restore power, the UI will begin to randomly let off an audible chime, randomly throughout the day, presumably until it goes back out and loses power again. Any suggestions?
Is this on the control board underneath? If so cut the power to the dishwasher, typically at the breaker, for about 15 minutes then see if it happens again.
My control panel would not turn on. I turned off the breaker, disconnected the power connector to the dishwasher. Plugged it back in. Put the breaker back on and the dishwasher came on!!
Mine I have just been flipping the breaker off and on and it reset. I found that by testing for power because it was unresponsive but did have power and when I reset the breaker it turned on. I have been doing that for a couple months, but now it isn't working. I guess I'll try a few things, but I do have a couple years on my extended warranty. Additionally, the first thing I noticed was pump noise. It was still working, but use to be extremely quiet. That may be a separate issue. When the power issue started it would beep at night like it was losing power when not in use.
Mine has been doing the beeping thing on and off for the past two years like it's losing power then it automatically comes back on. Last time I couldn't get it to work I fought with unplugging it and flipping the breaker and it finally turned back on. It's doing the same thing now and unplugging and doing breaker isn't working. I can't figure out how to pull it out from under my countertop without breaking it either.
@jessicajohnson9193 there are normally two screws that hold the top to the underside of the countertop. There’s a panel underneath you’ll also have to remove. You may be able to remove the under panel and get to the control panel there. It’s a pretty tight fit though. If I can help let me know. Be sure to turn the breaker off first.
It’s supposed to be 16 volts dc if i recall correctly. Somehow some hit 30 volts dc and should be replaced but can still function for a while. I mistakenly had the meter on AC but it was smart enough to know the difference, thankfully. 😅
so, even though there is power going to the interface. Shouldnt it be an interface issue? Why did the main board fix it since its already sending voltage?
The diagram I showed in the video suggests 13.5 volts. All the documentation i've seen shows 13.5. This one works at 30 volts somehow. If it's lower or higher than 13.5 - 30 volts I'd suggest replacing it.
If you’re having to do that then more than likely you need to replace the control board. This one I have worked by unplugging it and plugging it back in, I ran about 15 loads through with no issue.
You really need to study a little more. You have have your multi-meter set to AC voltage trying to test a DC circuit. You really don't understand the circuitry you are looking at. Glad you got your dishwasher working... the video has value in that it shows what it looks like when taken apart and where the fasteners are located. An intermittent, cheap, $12 multi-meter can get you into serious trouble if your meter tells you a circuit is not energized when it is, but you have got to learn how to use one correctly regardless.
It’s hard to do everything correctly while you’re filming. Luckily the $12 multimeter picked up the DC on the AC setting and still gave an accurate reading. It’s really not something one would understand until you’re in that scenario of filming multiple takes and splicing it all together and you accidentally set your multimeter to AC on take 12 because you fumbled the wrong word in the previous shot. I use a cheap multimeter in my videos because not everyone has the funds to spend $250 on a fluke, myself included. For 99% of the circumstances it’s worked great. But yes, you’re right, you can certainly get shocked or hurt if a multimeter isn’t giving accurate results, but I’ve yet to run into that scenario with this one. I’d say watching a video, not understanding all that goes into it, and making a judgment on someone’s knowledge is a rather bold and ignorant statement based upon one thing you’ve seen. Have the day you deserve.
I have tried to follow you and I find your videos so confusing! Can you PLEASE slow down and stop jumping back and forth! You seem to be a model of how to eaal with people who can't focus. Get some help.
My videos aren’t for everyone. If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that you can’t please everyone. If I make a short and concise video, people complain it’s too short and not detailed enough. If I make one too long they tell me I need help. Feel free to make your own videos, but it’s not as easy as writing a negative comment. Have the day you deserve.

Yes more than likely it’s the top UI panel board. I really need to do a video on how to swap that one out.

Thank you sir! It was replugging the small connector. It worked!
Glad it helped out!!
Thank you! Your video helped me fix my dishwasher. Much appreciated!
Love it. Glad it helped out!!
Thanks man!!! I save money ...I did what you suggest to do if no power.. It works!!!👌

The dishwasher I’m working with you unplug it plug it back in and it works for a few days and then you’ve have to do that again so what’s wrong?
Without knowing anything else I’d say it’s the control board talked about in this video.
It worked!!!
Did you have to replace the control board or just unplug and plug those connectors back up?
If the light is blinking on the main control board…what does that mean?
Is this on the control board underneath? If so cut the power to the dishwasher, typically at the breaker, for about 15 minutes then see if it happens again.
I watched another video and the circuit board LED was solid. Mine is blinking X7 times. What does that mean?
What’s the model of your dishwasher?

If the control panel is bad it can send the wrong amount of voltage to the UI board which will cause it to not light up.
