Siemens/Bosch Dishwasher Control Module

[MartinR]

Trying to find a replacement control module for my Siemens dishwasher - its MPN is 00498444, see:
https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk/shop-productlist/00498444
It's used in a variety of Bosch, Siemens, Neff, etc. models.
Unfortunately it is no longer available from any of the usual outlets (Siemens, Bosch, Ransomes, eSpares, etc) and there doesn't appear to be a substitute.
Any suggestions as to who might have one - even a working used one - would be much appreciated.

Try espares but I note the module is currently available - you could use the 'chat' service to find out about future availability or if there is a substitute. I use espares a lot.

or Amazon which is available it seems but pricey:

or Ransom spares:

Thanks for the suggestions... but I've checked them all and none of them actually have any stock. They simply place an order on Bosch...who have discontinued it.
There are a few used ones in Germany but they won't ship to the UK!
I'm checking an unofficial alternative part which I hope will work... will let the forum know of the result.
Otherwise, an otherwise perfectly good dishwasher will have to be junked.

Even though the module does not work does the 3 digit LED display light up? If the display does not light up then it might be something simple to fix. We'll consider this line of investigation if you have no success with the alternative part.
