We have a new kitchenaid dishwasher with a fairly simple control panel (8 buttons). We already had to have the mainboard replaced by the manufacturer. Unless your dishwasher is really old, even if it appears simple, it almost certainly is not.

My old Kitchenaid dishwasher had to have the mainboard replaced 4 times.
One fix I found online was that if you have a hotter than normal water supply, the exhaust vent isn't big enough to let all of the steam out so the board gets wet.
The service guy crimped the vent wider after I told him about that one.

I really don't get what all my buttons are for. Well I know what they do, after reading the manual, just not why I'd want to use them, different varieties of partial dishwashing? I'm a single person household and I have no problem waiting 2-3 days until I have enough for the full program. So I only ever press the same two ("full program", "ON"). And it really should be just one: ON.
