Control Panel & Boards

Control panels and control boards play a crucial role in facilitating precise control over temperature regulation, cooking duration, and cleaning cycles of different equipment. Dishwashers incorporate an array of essential components, such as spray arms, detergent dispensers, and high-temperature rinse cycles. These components are orchestrated by an intricate system of sensors, motors, and valves, all managed through the collaborative efforts of the dishwasher's control panel and control board. 

Positioned on the front of the appliance, the dishwasher control panel offers operators a user-friendly interface with an assortment of buttons and knobs. Through these controls, users can select preferred wash cycles, fine-tune water temperature and pressure, and track the progress of the cleaning process. In more advanced models, touchscreen displays are integrated into the control panel, elevating the level of control available to operators. Behind the scenes, the dishwasher control boards function as the central intelligence, interpreting signals from the control panel and translating them into actions for various dishwasher components. For instance, when an operator opts for a high-temperature rinse cycle, the control board initiates the activation of the dishwasher's heating element to achieve the desired water temperature. Similarly, should the dishwasher's sensors detect insufficient water pressure, the control board may command the pump to increase water flow for optimal performance.
