Hot take: I used to just replace the whole control board on those finicky Bosch dishwashers, but after one in a 2018 model, I started swapping the $15 relay first.

Saved the customer over $200 on parts and labor, and it fixed the 'no start' issue 9 times out of 10. Anyone else find themselves defaulting to the simpler, cheaper fix more often now?

Yeah, that "swap the relay first" tip is solid.

But is it always that big a deal? Sometimes the relay is fine and you just wasted time. People act like it's a sure fix every time.

Had the same thing on a 2016 model. That relay fix works more often than not.
