I have a ge profile pdw8200 dishwasher. it goes thru a patial cycle then shuts off. now i have no power to the control panel. could it be a problem with the control panel. if so are they expensive and difficult to replace?

the power supply for the control board has failed. it is often a seperate module

Check the electrical connections where the power enters the dishwasher. (behind the lower kickplate, on the right side of the machine) Open the metal cover, hold on one of the twist on wire connectors, and firmly tug each wire to make sure none are loose. Check all the wires. There is a good chance one of the wires will come right out of the twist on wire connector when given a tug. Correct the poor connection, and you should be good to go.

Is it operable when the door is close? I'm having a similar problem. The console panel on the top of the door appears to be not working. No lights. No buttons will respond. However when the door is shut, I can squeeze a finger to the start button and actually start the dishwasher. Light also come on when the dishwasher door is closed.

I hit the pump with a hammer and it started washing and continues to do so. Thanks

My delay start switch does not work and the dishwasher beeps periodically throughout the day. Also, I have it set for a 109 minute cycle and after about 20 minutes it says that I only have 35 minutes left in the cycle! Any suggestions?

Solution Found!!

Checked for power to dishwasher. According to the manual, shutting off the breaker for more that 30 seconds resets the dishwasher. It did!!! The dishwasher works fine now. THANKS!!!

There is a ribbon cable that connects to the control panel. Mine was operating the same as yours. I opened up the front and reinserted the cable and its been fine ever since. you need to take all the screws out from the door panel inside the washer to geet to it.
