This is because inside it there are all the programs that can be used from time to time depending on the needs.

Consequently, when an electronic board breaks, replacing it can be quite difficult because you have to look for a specific one. The problem, therefore, may not be quickly solvable and not easy to fix by yourself, causing various inconveniences in the management of domestic life.

How to tell if your dishwasher circuit board is broken

The electronic board is not a fragile component (in dishwashers as in other appliances) but it could be subject to voltage drops or humidity infiltrations that compromise its activity. If this does not happen, it is possible that after many years of honourable service, it stops working properly and begins to give problems.

• You may suspect that the dishwasher's electronic board is broken when,
• The appliance does not turn on or does not start even after setting the washing programme,
• The machine is noisier than usual,
• No water is loaded at the start of the cycle, nor is it emptied at the end, and as a result, you end up with either dirty dishes or water leaks on the floor,
• The wash cycle does not complete.

These are all situations in which it is quite easy to notice a malfunction of the dishwasher, but it does not necessarily mean that the electronic board is responsible. These faults, in fact, are also common to other types of problems that concern other components of the appliance. The dishwasher pressure switch, for example, can be the cause of a failure to load water just as the dishwasher resistance can prevent the wash from being completed.

To identify the nature of the damage, you can proceed by hypothesis by checking the various components and verifying their functioning. Alternatively, you can call a professional who, thanks to his experience and the tools of the trade, will be able to easily identify what the problem is and why the dishwasher's electronic board broke.

The most modern dishwasher models allow you to identify the problem with the electronic board through specific signals. These could be indicator lights that come on in the control panel, acoustic sounds or specific error codes that appear on the display.

Repairing Dishwasher Circuit Boards

There is no way to repair the electronic board of the dishwasher: if it breaks, it must be replaced. This is certainly not news to those who have already witnessed the failure of other components of the appliances. Usually, if a piece is broken, it is removed and replaced with a new and working one.

The problem is that not just any spare part will work for the electronic board. You need to find one of the same brand and model to be sure that it will make the dishwasher's programs and functions work. Consequently, to replace an Indesit, Hotpoint-Ariston or Whirlpool dishwasher board, you must first check the model and find the specific spare part. Otherwise, you risk not making the machine work properly anymore.

The big risk you run is the lack of a replacement board. Although there is a European regulation that requires household appliance companies to provide spare parts for their appliances for at least ten years, it is possible that beyond this time limit it will be difficult to find a new electronic board. If it is not possible to make the replacement, it will be necessary to proceed with the purchase of a new dishwasher.

How much does it cost to replace a dishwasher circuit board?

Replacing such a central component can be quite expensive, but it all depends on the model.

The average cost of an electronic card can vary from 2000 to 5650 rupees. To this must be added the costs of the technical intervention. Given the seriousness of the damage, many companies give.

Is it really worth changing the dishwasher's electronic board?

In light of the numbers that come out when it comes to replacing the electronic board, it is natural to ask whether it is not better to buy a new appliance. Is dishwasher repair really worth the financial effort?

This is not a question that requires a clear answer. The truth is that it depends on the case. First of all, you need to consider the age of the dishwasher and how often you have had to repair it. If the appliance is more than ten years old, has caused a lot of concern recently, and the replacement board is difficult to find, it might make sense to think about buying a new dishwasher. On the contrary, if the warranty has recently expired, the appliance works reasonably well, and the breakdown of the electronic board was caused by a storm or a similar reason, it makes more sense to try to fix the appliance. On the one hand, because you will spend less, and on the other, because such a gesture will be more useful for the environment.
