This happened to me with a GE Dishwasher and the board was fried. I
was advised by the appliance repair people, GE service (by phone) and
by my electrician to get surge protection put in. If you did so, you
should have no hesitation to buy whatever brand and model you wish, as
the circuitry will be protected and not affect the appliances.
