I have a Kenmore 66513269K114 dishwasher, it pre-washes, dumps the detergent then I hear the wash relay click but it does not wash. If I cycle power or rerun previous cycle (hitting start button twice) it may eventually wash. I’m about to purchase a replacement control board but figured I’d ask here if it could be something else.

Hi @rayss , Don’t know the answer but it seems as though there is a problem with the wash motor circuit but being intermittent it may take a while to find. Here’s the Tech Sheet for the dishwasher. It shows how to get into the diagnostic mode so that the various functions can be tested etc. It also details what may be the causes of any error codes that might show when performing the diagnostic tests. Finally if the diagnostics show that all is OK then there are schematic diagrams of the various operating circuits which may also help.
