I swapped the control board on mine and it’s still has no lights. Probably the top button panel?

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@nichetcher1]

@@BreakFixRepair is there any regular nearby places you think I could buy that?

[@BreakFixRepair]

@@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. I appreciate the Amazon revenue when I get it but we also need to help keep the mom and pop shops alive. Let me know if I can help.

[@user-lv8ib8rn2c]

Thanks. Exactly what I needed. Unplugging and reconnecting the connectors as shown in your video fixed my GE dishwasher. 😀

Best Video ever!!! I have the same DMM and dishwasher. I got 30 volts and it still will not turn on. It must be something with the door or button.

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@ditzyKnight007]

​@@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?

[@mrcoollu9662]

Very informative thanks a lot

[@BreakFixRepair]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JoshSmith-fq6ci]

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.

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@niksh2003]

Literally having this issue. I called ge they don't see any applicane firmware update

[@BreakFixRepair]

@@niksh2003 if unplugging and plugging back up doesn't fix it, chances are good you need a new control board :(

[@mamajones777]

Thanks!

[@BreakFixRepair]

Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@curtchase3730]

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.

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@annetteaguilar4198]

It worked!!!

[@BreakFixRepair]

Did you have to replace the control board or just unplug and plug those connectors back up?

[@stepheather1]

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 ?

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@stepheather1]

@@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!

[@BreakFixRepair]

also sorry for the delay! sometimes I don't get the notifications on replies.

[@ThreePhaseHigh]

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?

[@BreakFixRepair]

Without knowing anything else I’d say it’s the control board talked about in this video.

[@user-ii9ub6li4i]

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?

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@TheLynx1984]

so if 30volts is wrong. what is the correct voltage?@@BreakFixRepair

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@ustinummins1837]

I watched another video and the circuit board LED was solid. Mine is blinking X7 times. What does that mean?

[@BreakFixRepair]

What’s the model of your dishwasher?

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!!

[@KalynnMyers-cm5wk]

If the light is blinking on the main control board…what does that mean?

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@tonyguarini6140]

I have to unplug it and then plug it back in to get it to work, help

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@kylynnhaukereid4290]

I can only see one of these plugs under my dishwasher

[@user-ys5jk3xl2x]

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!!

[@BreakFixRepair]

I’m so glad this worked for you too!!!

[@kylekuntz5302]

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.

[@BreakFixRepair]

@kylekuntz5302 if you have an extended warranty you should let them fix it for free and let me know what they find!!

[@jessicajohnson9193]

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.

[@BreakFixRepair]

@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.

[@kevincarson7096]

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.

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.

[@robertfarrow4256]

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.

[@BreakFixRepair]

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.
