I have a GE Dishwasher model GSD4430X72WW.

Could be control board failure in which case it can't be reset

Only reset you can do is unplugging power cord for 10 minutes.
The control panel it is probably faulty and in need for replacement.

I agree the control board is likely defective. If this happened after a power failure and the resulting electrical surge then the local utility is responsible, file a claim with them for repair.

Burnt out control panel most likely.

Make sure 120V is making it to the junction box under the unit, they are almost always hard-wired to the supply circuit. Reset the breaker and proceed from there...

Hello Matthew, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

Let's try reprogramming your dishwasher. This can be done by flipping the breaker off for approximately ten minutes. If resetting the power does not correct the issue, your dishwasher could possibly be experiencing a communication error with the control board/panel or could have a wiring failure. I would suggest contacting an experienced service technician to determine the precise cause.

Hello

Welcome to Fixya.

Based on your post,"...Even when the dishwasher is off I cannot reset the breaker unless I kind of move the machine around a bit. Sometimes it pops the breaker just closing the door..."

These are the most common reason for these Bosch dishwashers not having power.

#1

I would start by first shutting off the breaker. Then removing the kick plate ( access panel at the bottom ) and checking the wiring at the junction box for the dishwasher 120vac supply line.

Remove the murret's and visually inspect the wire for "resistance burn" and strip the wires back and install new fastener's if necessary to repair.

i.e.



This is actually quite common to find a wire connector come loose due to improper fastening and once the unit is in use for a while the connections heat & cool, become loose from normal operating vibrations and burn up from all the added heat caused by "resistance".

#2

A wire severed inside the door panel, hence the breaker trips by just moving the door in an open/close motion.

Check thoroughly in this location...




The end result is tripping the breaker and no power to the controls.

Check it out and post back what you find. Thanks for visiting "fixya" and please take a moment to rate the solution/suggestion provided here for you.

Good luck.

Re: My dishwasher start light flashes and the timer display is blank.

That is a fault condition, if the display is blank it is probably a faulty control board.

Unplug the appliace from main, or trip circuit braker to cut power for ten minutes.

If display is still blank on startup, then replace the timer control assembly.
