I own a Kenmore dishwasher. It stopped working about 3 days ago. At that time, I was able to select the type of wash and rinse. The corresponding light above the button would light up. No other buttons, including the start button, would light up. The start button wouldn't start the machine.


2 days later, only the wash cycle buttons would light up when buttons pressed, rinse cycle buttons no go.


None are now working.


Clear plastic cover that covered all the buttons, (and seems to be backpainted white) has been stained on the right hand side for some time. 2 weeks ago, I peeled this back to try to clean the staining and I put the clear plastic sheet back and pressed it tight to have it adhere. This is the same side that the buttons began to fail from.


Im assuming a new keypad is in order but would appreciate any opionions.


Breaker works. Im getting power to the control board,. The door switch tested positively for resistance when closed.


Thankyou in advance.

That's ok. Yes, it's a sears kenmore. I've been told that it is a whirlpool manufacture because of the 665 start to the code. 665 16372301. Thankyou in advance for anything you can offer.

if you haven't already,

Google the model number, and see if others have had problems

Scott,

Sorry, don't have much to offer. Sounds as if it was working until you
did this cleaning. The touchpad seems to be out of stock at the web-sites I
checked.
I'd suggest cleaning the plug where the touchpad enters the control
board. I'd try re-cleaning the touchpad and while disassembled check the
switches with a DVM. If the touchpad is gone you'll need to hunt around to
find a replacement and it won't be cheap. Maybe time for a new dishwasher.

I'll take what I can get. Much appreciated David. I just assumed that the touchpad was part of the control console. Can you buy them separately? (If you can find them?) Also, have you had any problems with these internet parts places?
Thanks again David.
