My 3 year old Kenmore Elite dishwasher stopped drying the dishes a few months ago. It would run the drying cycle (indicated by a red status light) but never got hot. I had a tech come out, he checked the heating element, the thermostat, and the fuse but said all were fine. He unplugged it, plugged it back in, and ran it through a self-diagnostic cycle and the heating element came on. For the next month the heater worked fine. A month ago, it stopped again.
I cycled the power but that didn't do anything. Then I ran it through the diagnostic cycle. The heater came on at the end of the diagnostic cycle. I did a regular cycle later that day and heater worked fine.
This morning the heater stopped working again. I'll run it through the diagnostic cycle again, but is the next step to replace the control board? Or something else?
