How to Replace the Control Board on a Fisher Paykel Dishwasher

Fisher & Paykel dishwashers have two drawers inside of a flip-down door. When the control board dies on the dishwasher, the dishwasher will not function. With a nonfunctioning control board, the dishwasher will not fill with or drain water, heat water, start the dry cycle or begin the wash cycle when you press the "Start" or "Power" button. Replacing the control board is necessary for the dishwasher to operate.

Needle-nose pliers
Flat-head screwdriver (optional)
