this model has a row of press buttons on the top of the door to
select options (length, dry, etc), 2 buttons on the front face
(start, cancel), and a minute counter lcd on the front face.

loaded it up last night like usual. shut door, pressed start. the
lights on the press buttons went out, the minute counter lcd went
blank, and nothing happened.

usual operations turns on the lcd as it starts filling, showing a
line going around in a circle until full. it then usually displays
the time left.

hit cancel, which did turn on the pump, and showed 2 minutes in the
lcd. this was normal operation, as it has always done this.

tried to start a couple more times, with the same results. the manual
doesn't describe this, nor any way to turn on any sort of
diagnostics.

just for fun, i hit start this morning on my way out the door, and it
started up working normally.

something seems to be on the way out. any way to determine if it's
the control board? since the pump worked on the cancel cycle, i'm
thinking it's not the internal fuse, jammed or clogged pump or
macerator.

i'm not sure what else this could be. any ideas? the control panel
part is over $100, so i just hate to throw parts at it.

thanks,
charlie

Did you contact Kitchenaid?

typically, their answer is: the service man can come between 7am and 6pm
next thursday, is that good for you?

so no.
