I had the same problem with the same dishwasher. I'm assuming by now you've probably fixed it, but for others who are experiencing the same problem, heres what to do. Get to the control board panel behind the keypad (from the inside of the door). Look at all the capacitors. If any of them have a top that is convex (bubbling out), then they need to be changed. I had two capacitors that were bad (right next to each other). i ordered the same ones on amazon.com for $5. actually i got a 10 pack. unsoldered old ones. soldered new ones in. works perfectly. these models have a poor electronic board design or a poor overall design that blows these capacitors. Such an easy fix. I read so many internet threads where so many people with the same exact problem and replaced the whole board for $120 minimum if they did it themselves. silly. CHECK ALL THE CAPACITORS FIRST. 95% OF THE TIME when electronics go bad, its a bad capacitor, usually one that deals with the overall power.
