Reddit r/AskElectricians: "Keep losing kitchen appliances". Owner installed Whirlpool dishwasher that lasted 3 years before control board failed; replacement Whirlpool lasted 2 years before control board failed again; older used Bosch dishwasher then failed control board after about a year. Also notes 10-year-old refrigerator lost its control board.
