canuck the pro: Handyman: Hi my name is * * I have been in the repair field for over 20 years.
canuck the pro: Handyman: I am sorry you are having issues.
canuck the pro: Handyman: I will be glad to help you today.
canuck the pro: Handyman: The issue very well may be the circuit board.
canuck the pro: Handyman: There are components on the PCB (printed circuit board) that are called capacitors.
canuck the pro: Handyman: They store power to start up different components.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Often when there is a power surge (or if the capacitor is manufactured in Taiwan) a capacitor or some capacitors will fail.
canuck the pro: Handyman: They are pretty easy to diagnose with a visual inspection of the board.
canuck the pro: Handyman: The failed capacitor will be swollen on top or on the side and when this happens they do not transfer power and in turn the appliance does not come on.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Most repair technicians will not just replace the capacitor on the board (with good reason since the capacitor failure may be related to Taiwanese manufacturers so more will fail soon) and the board will have to be replaced.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Once the board is replaced the appliance will resume normal function.
canuck the pro: Handyman: If you often have power outages or power surges I would recommend surge protections devices or surge protection outlets installed to protect any electronics in the home.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Please let me know if my solution worked for you.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Waiting for your reply.
JustAnswer Customer: I texted you what was going on now.
JustAnswer Customer: had the three dashes Saturday, no power or response on buttons.
JustAnswer Customer: wife heard dish washer beeping last night.
JustAnswer Customer: daughter went down, was able to power up and start quick wash and it started.
JustAnswer Customer: Now to see if it finishes.
JustAnswer Customer: only has to make a few more months before kitchen remodel.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Thank you for the update.
