      Returning guest presenter Aaron Wilson is back for another exciting discussion. This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Science of CYA: How to Keep the Customer Safe, Document Your Work, and Not Get Sued
      We take on a lot of liability as appliance repair techs, and that can get us into sticky situations whether we've done anything wrong or not. Aaron will be teaching us all about how to navigate this side of the trade.
      We'll start by going over a tragic, real-world case study where a sloppy installation had lethal results, analyzing exactly how the installer's negligence caused this. From there, our scope will expand to what kind of safety precautions we should implement in our own work, both for the customer's sake and for our own.
      But even if you do everything perfectly, there's still the famous "technician witch hunt." Well, we'll also talk about how to deal with that by thoroughly documenting your work and putting yourself beyond legal reproach.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:
      Aaron has been in the appliance repair trade for about 15 years, starting out by doing installations before moving on to bigger and better things. He worked for C&W Services as a Sub-Zero authorized servicer for a time and thereafter joined Mr. Appliance of Highland Park in the Dallas area, where he worked for years as the lead technician and field service manager. These days, he's making sure that all the appliances of everyone's favorite fried chicken place are in tip-top shape as the Quality and Performance Consultant for the southwest branch of Chick-fil-A. In addition, he has taught many classes on refrigeration repair and advanced diagnostics, during which time he also developed training material for the soft skills side of things, which he is delighted to share with you. On top of all that he's a certified graduate of the Master Samurai Tech Academy, so he knows his stuff!

Kenmore Elite 665.17464300 Dishwasher No Power

Dishwasher stopped while drying not long ago. No lights on the control panel. Disconnecting power for days and reconnecting did nothing.

I've tested the thermostat on the bottom of the tub, and it shows 0.1 ohms. The fuse at the control board was tested out of circuit, and shows a resistance of 0.1 ohms. I've tested the microswitch in the opening latch, and it works correctly. I found two bulged caps on the control board and replaced them with new ones. I tested the control panel according to the tech sheet that came with the dishwasher, and I think it's ok, but I'm not entirely certain for a few reasons:

1) There are more buttons listed on the tech sheet than exist on the dishwasher.
2) The SOAK & SCOUR button does not exist, and measuring between P1-11 and P1-3 does not produce connectivity from any button
3) The QUICK WASH/QUICK CLEANUP/TIME SAVER button does not exist, and measuring between P1-12 and P1-6 does not produce connectivity from any button
4) The dishwasher has a SMART WASH button, and connectivity is observed when measuring between P1-13 and P1-2, but neither this button nor this combination of pins is listed on the datasheet.

A noncontact voltage detector shows voltage all over the place within the dishwasher carcass - going into and out of the control board, at the handle, underneath the tub, etc.

What's going on? What should I do next?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
