A Whirlpool dishwasher on Greenford Ave SW in Massillon wouldn’t start when the customer pushed the button, even though all other buttons worked and lit up. Sometimes it would start, but the behavior was inconsistent. We found the main control board had failed.
The Problem
The customer reported that the dishwasher won’t start when they push the button. All of the other buttons work and light up. Sometimes it will start.
Diagnosis
With all other functions working normally but the start button responding intermittently, the symptoms pointed to a failing main control board. The board was sending power to display functions but couldn’t consistently process the start command.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W11637583 — Control
- Work performed: Replaced main board
- Result: Good to go
Is It Worth Repairing?
This WDT730HAMZ0 is a solid mid-range Whirlpool model that typically provides reliable service for many years. Replacing the main control board restores full functionality and is usually worth the investment compared to purchasing a new unit, especially if the dishwasher is otherwise in good condition.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Dishwashers
- Run the dishwasher regularly — weekly use prevents seals from drying out and keeps the control board active
- Clean the filter monthly and check spray arms for clogs to prevent pump strain
- Use rinse aid to reduce water spots and improve drying performance
