My 7 year old GE dishwasher finally gave up last Tuesday

The control board just died mid-cycle with a load of half-washed plates. I spent $85 on a replacement part from a local repair shop in Austin but it still wouldn't power on after I installed it. Ended up renting a pickup from Home Depot and hauling the old unit to the recycling center myself. Has anyone here had luck fixing those GE control boards or is it always a lost cause?

Bet the wiring harness is bad too, not just the board.

Honestly sounds like an excuse to buy a new dishwasher to me.

Tbh you're not wrong. I've seen people use a finicky control board as a way to justify a whole new unit when a simple part swap would do the trick. But sometimes the board is truly toast and it's cheaper in the long run to just replace the whole thing instead of chasing ghosts. I've had it where a new board fixed it for a few months then the pump went out right after.
