Am I looking at a new control board?

Dishwasher runs for about a minute then shuts off. No error codes or blinking lights that I can see. It's getting up there in age. Before I drop cash on a new board or panel, does this sound familiar to anyone?
 
That one-minute shutdown stunt is a classic with older machines. Before you spend big on a board, I would double-check that the door latch is fully engaging or if it is actually getting water. My old washer pulled that trick once. It was just a clogged inlet screen, a simple fix that saved me a bundle.
 
I was worried I would have to pay an arm and a leg for a repair call. I'll check the door latch and the water inlet once I get my hands free. I appreciate you sharing that wisdom.
 
You're welcome! It's always best to check the simple stuff first before you call in the cavalry. Let us know what you find out.
 
Hey @alan must read I encountered a similar issue sometime ago and I checked the latch first, it was registering as closed but losing contact once vibrations kick in, I found my way around it
Have you tried what @_TheMehssiah_ said, how'd it go cos its a good move to make

I haven't yet had a chance to investigate the dishwasher since my last post. The latch losing contact from vibration is an invaluable detail. What was your specific workaround for it?
