Mike F. for Model Number 66513742k603 Our Kenmore dishwasher stopped working about a year ago, but after a few months actually started working again. My wife says that since then over time each of the buttons and their lights stopped working until eventually we lost the start button. The door latch switch works and is getting power. There is continuity through the thermal fuse. When I close the door latch switch the dishwasher starts the drain pump for a short time.Is this a control panel or circuit board problem? Thanks.
Answer Mike, It's a control panel WPW10243210 problem. The key pad and or ribbon circuit(s) have started to deteriorate and fail. When you activate the power and the drain pump runs, that indicates the control board isn't "seeing" the touchpad circuits. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, September 12, 2014
