KitchenAid Dishwasher with Three Blinking Lights

KitchenAid model # KUDPO1ILBS2 would only blink lights and NOT wash the dishes.

So It was time to call for service.

Blinking lights (Normal)-(Sani/Rinse)- (Cancel)  but would not go anything else.   Removed all six of the  15 torx that hold the control panel on and the two more screws that hold the door latch. unplugged and plug in the control panel three time and the dishwasher when into test mode.  It was time for a New control panel as the keypad had failed.

If the dishwasher would not go into test mode. Then you will  need a control.

Removed the control by pressing  two clips on the left of the control.  Popping the control up then pulling it to the left emoved it from the panel. Unplugged the key pad ribbon connector from the control.  Then unscrewed the door latch  slid it into the New control panel. Snapped the control into the new panel and plugged in the ribbon connector. slid the panel back into the door and replaced all 6 screws and 2 screws for the door latch.

Turned on the power and it was washing dishes again.
