Bill J. for Model Number KUDI01ILWH6

Each of the control Panel switches will light, individually or with an appropriate wash cycle. However nothing runs when you hit the start button. Start button will not light. If you press Cancel twice the drain cycle will start. I checked the door switches and both close the circuit when manually actuated. The fuse checks good. When I close the dishwasher door it sounds like the door switches are actuating. I think that narrows my problem to the circuit board or the control panel. What further troubleshooting step(s) can I take to determine which part I need?

Answer

Bill, Time and experience indicates there's a 98% probability that you need the control panel assembly WP8531817. You can test the control panel keys with a meter. you'll need to remove the lower kickplate and access panels, you'll find the tech data sheet attached to the back of the panel or attached to the frame and you can remove the panel and conduct the tests listed.
