) ... i guess the question is, if i simply replace the board will this suffice or is it likely there is something else failing & am i better off replacing the machine as it is about 8yrs old now? ... advice from anyone with crystal ball appreciated

Thanks,
IMJ

replace mc ,power board 100 quid put a new one in bang ,could be heater blowing it with out test meter you have little chance .8 years is a good life

must admit that is what I have been thinking ... but was hoping it would last a while longer until kitchen refit next year sometime ....how would i go about test ing the heater? easy job or need a bit more knowledge than basics?

put meter connections on heater should read 25 ohms but you need megga to see if it has earth fault , or buy a second hand dishwasher for now then sell it next year you will easy get you money back for it

mate, sometimes it just takes someone else to tell you before you pull the plug!

if i could be guaranteed replace board and off we go again no problem then fine but with chance of further failure logic says it's time to replace!!

thanks for your speedy help!
