Most common repairs needed to fix a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher

Electronic Control Board Replacement

A dishwasher that has no power could have a defective electronic control board. The control board will freeze up and fail to power up the control panel when its internal memory and logic is corrupted. A failed internal electronic relay or bad electronic part on the circuit board could be causing the control board to freeze up and not continue working properly. Determining whether a control board is defective is difficult. Have a Sears Home Services technician diagnose and repair your dishwasher when it stops working.

User Interface Control Replacement

When your dishwasher has no power, a damaged user interface control could be causing the problem. The user interface control connects to the electronic control board through a wire harness and sends signals to the control board to help control the dishwashing cycle. A bad power key on the user interface control can prevent the dishwasher from powering up. Also, a stuck key on the user interface control can cause the electronic control board to stop the cycle and the dishwasher won’t work until the damaged user interface control is fixed. Have a Sears Home Services Repair Expert visit your home and replace the user interface control if it’s damaged.

Power Supply Board Replacement

When your dishwasher has no power, a damaged power supply board could be causing the problem. The power cord connects directly to the power supply board and the power supply board sends power to the electronic control board to power up and operate the dishwasher. When your dishwasher is completely dead and it is getting power through the power cord, you’ll need to have a Sears Home Services Technician check out the power supply board and replace it if it’s damaged.

Sears Home Services recommendations for a dishwasher that has no power

When the dishwasher has no power it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of dishwasher failures.

What to look out for with a dishwasher no power diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your dishwasher problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

A silent Fisher & Paykel dishwasher suggests deeper fuse or wiring problems if toggling the switch fails. Without basic power, your daily cleanup piles up in the sink. Getting help from a dishwasher repair near me pro puts your mind at ease. Restoring power quickly brings your kitchen routine back to normal.

Thorough

James called to give an estimated arrival time. He was professional and personable. He had 2 professional ideas of the problem and found 1 was correct, but he didn't stop there. He did a thorough check of the appliance. 1 small part was needed. He ordered the part to my house. Fortunately, he was able to schedule for the next week, just before Thanksgiving. As before, he called ahead, arrived and quickly fixed the problem. My appliance is working perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won’t my Fisher & Paykel dishwasher turn on at all?
Tripped circuit breakers, a damaged power cord, or a blown thermal fuse can cause a total power failure. Check your home’s breaker panel first.
How do I confirm the dishwasher is getting power?
Plug another appliance into the same outlet or use a multimeter to test voltage at the outlet. If there’s no power, investigate your home’s wiring or breaker.
Could a broken door switch block all power?
Yes. If the control board never receives a ‘door closed’ signal, the dishwasher won’t start. Inspect or test the latch and switch for continuity.
When do I need professional help for a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher with no power?
If breaker resets and cord checks don’t solve it, the fuse or control board could be at fault. A technician can safely address deeper electrical issues.
