Manitoba | I posted a few days ago about our Bosch dishwasher that suddenly quit. It's electronics were completely dead. If I left the breaker on the pump would run intermittently but no lights on on the control panel. So I assumed the control box was bad and found out it was $288. I thought it was probably not worth doing on a 7 year old machine. Luckily the one online parts person I talked to said that they do fail because of the moisture under the dishwasher. So I gave it air and gentle heat from a heat gun, put the power back on and sure enough it lit back up like normal. The bottom of this unit is one big plastic pan and I did notice it was wet. So I set it up so I could run it outside the cupboards and watch for leaks. It was difficult to see because its fairly closed in but I managed to see that the water inlet valve had a slight leak. $30 for the part and it's fixed. I was very close to just going out and dropping a $1000 for a new one.
