Gina for Model Number kudt03ftpa3 i Cant tell if I already posted this question. Please help!! on my dishwasher I have 2 control panels. The electronic control panel and the touchpad control panel. I replaced the 1st one, but not repaired. I'm wanting to find out how I can tell if the panel control is bad. I previously got a blinking start button, and now the drain cycle will not even work. I tried the reset with scrub/heat buttons nothing. I see my part W10111537 is discontinued. Do you know of another panel I can use? how can I test if my panel is bad. I noticed there is a lot if info out there but its very hard to tell if they are referring to the electronic control panel or the touch pad control panel. How can I tell if it isn't the thermofuse or the door latch?
Answer Gina, We wish you had included an e mail address, we would've sent you some helpful information. If the problem was a thermal fuse or door latch assembly, there would be no power to the controls, and there would be no display lights at all. The control board WPW10084141 / W10084141 would be the least likely of the two components involved, and you should start control panel / console WPW10078133 / W10084183 but it is no longer available from the manufacturer. You can remove the lower kick plate panel and check to see if the tech data sheet is attached to the back side or it may be attached to the front frame and use it to conduct the diagnostics test and use the information for testing the key pad circuits. You disconnect the key pad ribbon from the control board, clean the end of the ribbon with rubbing alcohol or electrical contact cleaner, carefully clean the ribbon connector on the control board. give it a few minutes to evaporate then put it all back together and run the diagnostics test again.
