Dishwasher would not know door was closed
Parts diagram shows Striker can be popped out with screwdriver. Not true. It has a screw bolting it internally. Impossible to get to unless you disassemble the entire door. We took a power drill and small drill bit and bore it out like a cavity in a tooth. Needle nose pliers to extract the screw. Pretend your a dentist. Fixed it in 5 minutes. Replacement fit tight. A+

Doesn't complete dry cycle, no clean light, random noises as if door was closing
After replacing UI board, I replaced the mainboard. still did not solve the problem. The element tested good and I had removed the flood switch, rinsed and blew it out so it rattled but the damage was done. Replacing it made the dishwasher heat water and heated during dry cycle. Removed fine filter, removed course filter, removed two screws with nut driver, removed flood sensor and then reversed. A year or so ago, the dishwasher flooded for no apparent reason, wondering if that was the beginning end of the switch!

Dishwasher was not heating up to dry
Took out the old heating assembly and installed the new one
this did not solve my problem and I ended up buying a new dishwasher and returned the part
Spent as much in shipping to get the part and return it as the part cost itself
Next time I will just replace the dishwasher in the first place.
