KITCHEN AID DISWASHER WON'T START. DISHWASHER HAD BEEN USED LESS THAN TEN TIMES. WE HAD A POWERSURGE IN THE HOUSE A FEW YEARS BACK AND NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I HIT THE START SWITCH. WON'T TURN ON AND NOTHING LIGHTS. WE HAD A REPAIR MAN COME A FEW YEARS AGO AND I THINK HE SAID IT WAS THE TRANSFORMER. JUST WANTED TO GET YOUR OPINION BEFORE I BOUGHT ANY PART OR REPLACE THE UNIT. SEEMS A SHAME TO REPLACE THE DW BECAUSE OF THE LOW USAGE. ANY IDEAS.

This is something that would have to be checked with a test meter.

A power surge could have done more damage then just the transformer.

It could have done damage to the board too.
