Whirlpool Dishwasher keypad problem
 

I have a 5 year old Whirlpool dishwasher Model # SUD600HQ1 under the
Kirkland Quiet Max logo from Costco. It has touch pad buttons.
Suddenly, some keys, including the one for "Normal" and "Pots & Pans"
have stopped responding. I can still run a complete wash cycle on the
"Low Energy" or "China" program.

I opened up the door panel and pressed in all the connectors firmly but
no luck.

How can I isolate if the problem lies with the Control Board or with
the keypad?


Is the keypad replaceable? Where can I buy one? Is there anything on
the control board that I can check with a multimeter?

Any pointers are most welcome as I feel I am on a short lease until the
remaining keys also stop working.
Thanks.

You may not with out a key/touch panal tester.....or some tech sheets
have a section on ohm meter testing the key panal....failing those you
will be best guessing.

Yes.

Check the tech sheet that comes with the unit, since some cycles work
the control may be ok.

remaining keys also stop working.
