Kitchenaid Dishwasher Control Panel lights - some don't light up

Need help with Control Panel lights...some work, others don't. Trying to start wash, and when you press the Normal wash, it doesn't light up. The cancel light keeps coming on when "start" is pressed.

It seems as thought the "touch" sensors are bad..any suggestions??

    Kitchenaid dishwasher control panel lights will flash when button pushed, will start, and when the water temp. light comes on, it stops.

The problem is the control panel. You may have to shut the power off for a few seconds to reset the control board, then check to see if it works. If not, the control board has a break in the wiring or the keypad is no good.

I have Kitchen Aid model KUDIo2IRBS which had the same problem of blinking lights on the control panel.  I took off the control panel by unscrewing the top screws.  Then I took out the control circuit board which just snaps out. I disconnected the tape wire connection (it looks like duct tape) and cleaned the connecting pins by simply blowing on them. After putting everything back together it worked!

    Prob could have achieved the same outcome simply by disconnecting the power to the machine, waiting 10 secs. & hooking power back up..That should reset your machine. Anywho..Glad you got it working.

SOURCE: the light on the buttons that say cancel and normal are flashing and the dishwasher won't turn on.

first thing to try is to disconnect power for 15 minutes and then try again if goes into default again take off bottom panel and behind the black trim will be a tech sheet see if it gives yousome diagonostics sounds like it may be the computer if the power off and on doesnt make it work,.

SOURCE: My kitchenaid dishwasher (KUDL02FR) on the control

Hi

To resolve the issue try pressing this reset sequence-- Heat Dry - Normal - Heat Dry - Normal or High Temp - Air Dry - High Temp - Air Dry or Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry, Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry. Now let the unit run for 2-3 minutes and then you press the Cancel/Drain button and allow it to completely drain and reset.
If this doesn't work then it's an issue with the wash pump not pumping the water past the heater efficiently or due to lack of water to heat. Please make sure that heater is not open circuited and is heating the water efficiently. You'll have to check the heater using a multimeter; the meter should read between 3000 to 3300 ohms (Use multimeter on Rx1 ohm setting). If heater is fine then make sure water pressure is optimum and fill valve is working fine. Hope this helps... Please post back for further assistance.

Control panel stopped working, no lights

The most common problem on washing machines and dishwasher is failure of the electronics, usually the circuit board. As you have already had a problem (sanitize cycle) I am afraid it sounds like you need to call an engineer. Replacing the electronics will be expensive, but it may be loose connections only. :(

Model KUDS30FXSS1 Kitchenaid dishwasher control panel stopped working at the end of a cycle.

I had a similar problem: unresponsive buttons, then the 1 hour wash button led was on but the other buttons weren't working at all.
I power off for more than 30 seconds and after that everything return to normal.
Thank you for the hint!

Kitchenaid dishwasher KUDS01DJ Rinse only light is flashing. control panel is frozen with only rinse only light flashing. does not respond to pressing of any buttons. I flipped the breaker switch,...

Ok, Turn breaker off at breaker panel. Just off then on. The rinse only light should be on.....not flashing. Now press the start button first and hold; then press the cancel button. That should cancel all lights. Then press wash button then start. If the light is still flashing after you turn off breaker....you might have a bigger problem. May need new control panel.

Kitchenaid kud101tj "cancel drain" light and "Rinse Only" lights are falhing and DW won't start???

Don't know if this will help, but when I had problems with my control panel (lights blinked and nothing worked) I fixed it by disconnecting the power completly from the dishwasher at the fuse box. Leave it off 10 or 15 minutes and then repower. That reset mine and it worked again...has happened several times and each time I could fix it by cutting the power. If that doesn't work, you may need a new control panel.
