Hi I have had this dishwasher for many years with no problems, but the other day it just stopped working in mid-cycle. Now it will not fire up or light up anything. Just called kitchenaid rep., and they said it was the control board just wondering if anyone had any other opions before I order a control board for $200.00. Thanks
Remove the toe panel and check for a water leak marks on the motor. If there are a such marks then the pump & motor assembly has to be replaced. If everything is clean then the pump can be probably repaired by replacing the impeller kit.
Here are the break down diagrams for the Kitchen Aid dishwasher http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?diagram_id=20918&&model_id=238675
