A Kenmore dishwasher on Laubert Road in Atwater, OH wouldn’t drain and needed other fixes. When we diagnosed the unit, we found the control board had failed and wasn’t available for replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported their dishwasher won’t drain and needed any other fixes addressed.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed the dishwasher needs a new control board. Unfortunately, the board is not available for this model.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded
- Work performed: Diagnosed control board failure
- Result: Control board unavailable for replacement
Is It Worth Repairing?
When essential components like control boards aren’t available, replacement becomes the only viable option. This is unfortunately common with older Kenmore dishwashers where manufacturer support has ended. The age and unavailability of parts makes repair impractical in this case.
Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dishwashers
- Run hot water at the kitchen sink before starting a wash cycle to ensure proper water temperature
- Clean the filter monthly to prevent drainage issues and protect the wash pump motor
- Use rinse aid regularly to prevent water spots and help dishes dry properly
