Hi,
My Frigidaire Professional series dishwasher is about 9 years old and has been a great dishwasher thus far, no issues whatsoever. in fact, i have 2 of them installed (1 on each side of my sink in the kitchen). One of them made a strange noise (it was not running, in fact it was empty and nothing at all was illuminated on the control panel). After the noise, i looked over and smoke was coming up from right at the top where the unit latches. The smoke smelled electrical and as long as we kept the door latched it continued to smoke, so we had to leave it open. I have taken the cover off and the control display off to reveal the control panel inside. There was indeed black stains on the white box which i guess would be the control unit.
My question would be, should i replace the entire ‘control unit’ of this dishwasher as the best way to potentially resolve this issue and have a functioning unit again? Currently now, nothing shows on the control display as though it has completely shorted out.
I tried powering on a cycle and nothing shows on the display panel. I removed the control panel and outside cover to investigate the unit inside and saw black smoke stains on the white control box.

Yes. You will need to replace the control board. Check to see if any wiring was damages and repair/ replace if needed. If the control panel was not damaged there should be no need to replace it. With a valid model number i will be able to look up parts for you.
