Debbie P. for Model Number Whirlpool Dishwasher GU2500 XTPS3 The dishwasher won't start...or rather, starts sometimes; appears to be some kind of issue with the control panel? This has been an on-going problem for the past couple of years. The lights come on, but the start button doesn't always work. We replaced the fuse about a year ago, and everything worked fine until now. In order to start the dishwasher, I have to push "delay", then the cycle, then "start," and then push the delay button until the washer starts. Now, even that is not working. When I finally got the dishwasher to start, it wasn't in the cycle I had selected, it ran about 5 minutes, and stopped, but the lights were still on and I had "- -" where the cycle length normally appears. Lights won't go out unless I unplug the dishwasher for an extended period of time. Any ideas, or time to get a new machine?
