Thanks for watching! Watch how I originally got this dishwasher HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXrNkJJ8aZlosLM

I will always check all the cables around before starting to take voltage tests, thanks for the video, very helpful.

[@Codeman016]

Keep up the great work! Really enjoy showing that complicated items can be broken down into simple components.

[@FrugalRepair]

Thanks for watching!

[@spiderowboy]

great video. succinct, and to the point. no frills, good information. thanks

Nice guide!

Thanks for sharing

[@Ebolachicken]

very nice im glad all work out and the the seller was nice enough

[@tuvoca825]

The Ebay folks... were probably really happy for your honesty and that there was nothing wrong with the product (possibky resellable?).

[@144Donn]

Good job ! Perhaps there were two\multiple power inputs to the board with differing voltages. You read the 12 volts to power the board, but did not take into account the other input. Well done!

[@resandor]

A quick way to diagnose this in the future. Use a non-contact voltage Checker that can be purchased from Lowe's. You will notice it will flash red up until the noise filter and won't flash anything past the noise filter that's the quickest way to diagnose this issue.

God bless the people who upload mistake videos.

[@TheOne299]

You said the cable snapped after a light tug. I think there was enough contact to show voltage, but there was not enough contact to deliver the amperage for the board to be functioning.

[@FrugalRepair]

Great guess. This is my leading theory on why the voltage was there but not the current.

[@georgemartinezjr]

Great job if finding that wire. F&R

[@FrugalRepair]

Thanks!

[@diymaster1121]

It is important to mention that non contact voltage testers will show voltage even when the circuit is not closed ! The voltage was present in the board and wiring but the circuit was open so the current couldn't flow. Voltage is just a potential on the wires but if the circuit is open the current wont flow.

[@FrugalRepair]

Agreed. The tester I was using would show both, ac current and voltage. It only showed voltage which was confusing since that was a current carrying wire.

[@michaelbill123]

…Other than that, great repair video. 👍🏻

[@minutemanprep]

Haha mine is on the fritz on the fritz. I'll go through the same process to see what I find

[@FrugalRepair]

I hope you can figure it out! LMK if I can offer any help.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Video's worth it just for the link to the connectors! Thanks much!! I'd sub -=- but I'm already a sub!

[@FrugalRepair]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

@@FrugalRepair No, thank you! I had no idea these things were so inexpensive. I've a malfunctioning ABS sensor on my truck due to a bad connection somewhere. These will make any repair super easy.

The dishwasher that came with our house worked for a while... then it would get part way through a cycle and trip the house fuse (I would go out, reset the main fuse then try again only to have the fuse tripped again... about three checks was enough). I'm the dishwasher now :(

[@FrugalRepair]

Are you going to try to fix it? Could it be related to the heating element? Maybe it’s shorted?

[@cpoco]

@@FrugalRepair after watching your video I might... that sounds like a good place to start too... thanks :D

[@sheryarkhan9452]

U r lucky eBay return your circuit board there is no return in Pakistan 😢😢

[@diginomad6016]

Commenting to trick KZbin algorithm

[@FrugalRepair]

I appreciate the comment.

[@diginomad6016]

@@FrugalRepair ha ha. Keep your works coming.. Happy to see a person who gets his hands dirty and take up the challenging task.

[@lifooz2955]

All that hassle for a single broken cable, hehe! Good that you found it and could fix it, it means one less machine at the landfill! The Ebay sellers was very kind there tho since normally, you really don´t want back such specific products like PCB´s! /L

[@FrugalRepair]

Yes, I'm very glad it was only the cable! I was surprised the ebay sellers offered me a return after I told them it was my mistake. I gave them 5 star reviews.

[@michaelbill123]

The obvious question wasn’t answered. What caused the damaged wire? Sharp metal front panel? Not enough stress relief of wires?

[@Ebolachicken]

maybe a combination of all the above plus vibrations and opening the door.

[@FrugalRepair]

I just assumed it was the metal edge that cut through the insulation and that wire was sticking up higher. Good point though that I should have spoken more to that in the video.

[@youssefaitmenna5003]

U should make TikTok channel

[@FrugalRepair]

I actually have one. But I need to post more short content to it. I have plans to start doing more short form vertical videos, and regular KZbin videos as well. Just look up FrugalRepair on TT
