Cathy, Make sure that there is nothing clogged in the pump but this will most likely be an issue with the control board.

Hank with the control panel having lights on continuously then this would most likely be caused by a control board that is sending power to the display when in the off position.

Erica for Model Number 665.13102K902

For the past few uses, I found the "Normal Wash" light flashing red just intermittently. I emptied the dishwasher after it had run, came back by later, and it was flashing. Then it was flashing again the other day but I was able to turn it off by pushing the button and the cancel button. Tonight I turned it on to run and left the room. Not much later, I came back and the red light was flashing beside normal wash as well as the red light for the cancel button. Pushing these does not work. I tried throwing the breaker, leaving it for 30 seconds. When I came back the red normal wash light was still flashing, and the start/resume was flashing green. However, there is no effect when I push these buttons. I even tried throwing the breaker for half an hour or so to the same result.

Erica, This issue would be caused by a stuck keypad and will require the control panel of the unit to be replaced.

Chad for Model Number 665.13482K902

At times my control panel won't respond but takes time and a lot of work to get it to through. When washing, it won't switch from different cycles or able to change options. I have noticed though when washing the Cancel / Drain button will be light up red. When it was washing it would have the light on for "Drying" was lite up. I have no idea how to reset the dishwasher like others have been talking about. I have a 665.13482K902 I've grown frustrated with this dishwasher...

Chad, The most likely cause for the issue that you are having with your unit will be a faulty electronic control board. To reset the unit it is just turning the power supply to the unit off for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Hello Wgilliam, There are typically five components in the water heating circuit that will trigger the fault code. The heating element WPW10082892, the high limit thermostat WP661566, the door switches WP8269209 X 2, the control WPW10285179 and the harness WPW10413099. The incoming water should be between 120°F to 125°F to prevent a long heating period which can time out the control. The water should be no hotter than 125°F so the control can see a temperature increase from the heating circuit or it will fault the cycle. The unit should be secured under the countertop so all four feet share the weight of the unit to prevent a twist in the body which can prevent both door switches from "making". You can test the heating element, high limit thermostat and harness to them from terminals P9 (blue with red trace) to P3 (white with red trace) on the control board. Remember that the control is part of the circuit and it can also fail. Unless voltage is noted to be absent during the time chart period of water heating, the control is normally suspected last.
