GE DISHWASHER WITHOUT POWER OR LIGHTS ! NO PROBLEM! LETS FIX IT! (GE ADORA) 

I swapped the control board on mine and it’s still has no lights. Probably the top button panel?

Yes more than likely it’s the top UI panel board. I really need to do a video on how to swap that one out.

@@BreakFixRepair is there any regular nearby places you think I could buy that?

@@nichetcher1 check your local mom and pop shops. Give them a call and see if they have the part in stock. A lot of these dishwasher parts are interchangeable between similar models. I appreciate the Amazon revenue when I get it but we also need to help keep the mom and pop shops alive. Let me know if I can help.

Love to see it!!!! Glad it helped out.

You’re welcome

Glad it was helpful!

Well technically it’s supposed to be 16 volts according to their documentation, but it’s been working with mine and a lot of people at 30. Not sure for how long though. To put it bluntly I’d say you have either an issue with the UI board or the control board. I’d swap out the control board first as it’s definitely the easiest.

​@@BreakFixRepair boyfriend replace the control board ans I replaced the UI, still nothing 😅😅 I have 120v going to the machine and 14v going to the UI. I guess he's had to flip the breaker off and on to get it to run for Idk a month? Couple months?

Glad it helped

Thank you. I was hoping to help some people that may not have the money to replace such an expensive part at the moment. I ran about 10-15 cycles through this one after and it seemed to be okay for those. I suppose we will see! Thank you for your input.

Literally having this issue. I called ge they don't see any applicane firmware update

@@niksh2003 if unplugging and plugging back up doesn't fix it, chances are good you need a new control board :(

Woohooo!!! Another win! Glad it worked for you too

Thank you!!!!!!!!

The biggest point of the video was showing that I fixed this one by just unplugging the connections, plugging them back up, and turning it back on, which seemed to have worked for a few other people already. Since you’ve already replaced the control board then the likely cause of the issue is the UI board. My board works around 30 volts but the documentation I’ve found shows 13.5v so it’s unfortunately a little fuzzy on the actual voltage we should be getting between those two pins. some work on 13.5 and some 30 it seems.

Did you have to replace the control board or just unplug and plug those connectors back up?

I’m glad this worked for someone else. I can’t imagine all the people that have replaced their control board or bought a new dishwasher before trying this. Thanks for leaving a comment and letting me know the good news!!! Have a great day!!

Still working okay? I'm about to try this with mine. 🤞🏻

@MrMikeX good luck!! Let me know how it goes!!

@@BreakFixRepair didn't work for me.

If it keeps happening I’d replace the control board. It’s a cheap alternative to replacing the whole dishwasher. If you need help finding the part I’ll be happy to help.

@@BreakFixRepair Thank you ! I did get to do a wash last night and after I opened it up to get coffee cups out this morning it started making those sounds again beeping ones ! anyway please tell me how to obtain that part and where to buy it at and if so a link to a youtube video of how to replace one ! thanks again

@@BreakFixRepair please et me know where I can get that part

Here you go: www.searspartsdirect.com/product/5t514ygn1m-0022-363/id-wd21x32165 I typically use my amazon link to earn commission but the price is almost double and I couldn't live with myself doing that :) There's a slightly cheaper price at a different website but the reviews of it are horrible so this is the best I've found. Hope this helps!

also sorry for the delay! sometimes I don't get the notifications on replies.

Without knowing anything else I’d say it’s the control board talked about in this video.

Is this on the control board underneath? If so cut the power to the dishwasher, typically at the breaker, for about 15 minutes then see if it happens again.

What’s the model of your dishwasher?

@@BreakFixRepair I actually found after digging for about an hour, the actual tech service manual. www.applianceaid.com/pdf/31_9253.pdf

If the control panel is bad it can send the wrong amount of voltage to the UI board which will cause it to not light up.

so if 30volts is wrong. what is the correct voltage?@@BreakFixRepair

The diagram I showed in the video suggests 13.5 volts. All the documentation i've seen shows 13.5. This one works at 30 volts somehow. If it's lower or higher than 13.5 - 30 volts I'd suggest replacing it.

If you’re having to do that then more than likely you need to replace the control board. This one I have worked by unplugging it and plugging it back in, I ran about 15 loads through with no issue.

I’m so glad this worked for you too!!!

Mine I have just been flipping the breaker off and on and it reset. I found that by testing for power because it was unresponsive but did have power and when I reset the breaker it turned on. I have been doing that for a couple months, but now it isn't working. I guess I'll try a few things, but I do have a couple years on my extended warranty. Additionally, the first thing I noticed was pump noise. It was still working, but use to be extremely quiet. That may be a separate issue. When the power issue started it would beep at night like it was losing power when not in use.

@kylekuntz5302 if you have an extended warranty you should let them fix it for free and let me know what they find!!

Mine has been doing the beeping thing on and off for the past two years like it's losing power then it automatically comes back on. Last time I couldn't get it to work I fought with unplugging it and flipping the breaker and it finally turned back on. It's doing the same thing now and unplugging and doing breaker isn't working. I can't figure out how to pull it out from under my countertop without breaking it either.

@jessicajohnson9193 there are normally two screws that hold the top to the underside of the countertop. There’s a panel underneath you’ll also have to remove. You may be able to remove the under panel and get to the control panel there. It’s a pretty tight fit though. If I can help let me know. Be sure to turn the breaker off first.

It’s hard to do everything correctly while you’re filming. Luckily the $12 multimeter picked up the DC on the AC setting and still gave an accurate reading. It’s really not something one would understand until you’re in that scenario of filming multiple takes and splicing it all together and you accidentally set your multimeter to AC on take 12 because you fumbled the wrong word in the previous shot. I use a cheap multimeter in my videos because not everyone has the funds to spend $250 on a fluke, myself included. For 99% of the circumstances it’s worked great. But yes, you’re right, you can certainly get shocked or hurt if a multimeter isn’t giving accurate results, but I’ve yet to run into that scenario with this one. I’d say watching a video, not understanding all that goes into it, and making a judgment on someone’s knowledge is a rather bold and ignorant statement based upon one thing you’ve seen. Have the day you deserve.

No

My videos aren’t for everyone. If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that you can’t please everyone. If I make a short and concise video, people complain it’s too short and not detailed enough. If I make one too long they tell me I need help. Feel free to make your own videos, but it’s not as easy as writing a negative comment. Have the day you deserve.
