Diagnose & replace Kitchenaid dishwasher touchpad. control touchpad not working, Whirlpool, Maytag

Do you have a problem with the touchpad of your Kitchenaid dishwasher? In fact, not just Kitchenaid, Whirlpool and Maytag have similar problems because they are all made by Whirlpool. Sometimes the touchpad is stuck in lock and you can't get out it or wash your dishes. Sometimes some keys don't respond to inputs. I am going to show you how to diagnose and fix the problem in this video.
The model of my dishwasher is kdte254ess1 but this procedure works for many models from Kitchenaid, Whirlpool and Maytag.
The model numbers for the replacement part are: W10716255, W10852988, W10860320 and W10902370. They should all work. You can buy it here at Amazon if you have the exact same model of dishwasher: amzn.to/3J78Ozf
You can buy used ones at eBay for lower prices: ebay.us/yPp2VI

Excellent video! Determined it was control panel through diagnostic test, 2-1. Ordered original part, 3-5 days. Accomplished the task of changing out control panel in 20 minutes. Very happy. Thank you for the excellent teaching video. 😊

Excellent step by step video on how to replace the control board. I like how your son helped out with the repair.

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll consider trying a control board and hopefully it fixes the problem, if not , off to the store we go. Thanks again. Video was helpful.

Excellent video. I was having the same issue with basically the same model of dishwasher, except not only were the buttons not working right, but after a wash cycle, the control panel would beep every 2-3 seconds. This was after we opened the washer, pressed cancel, and anything else, the beeping wouldn't stop until it would randomly stop for a few mins, hours, or even days, and then randomly start beeping again. The only way to stop the beeping was to do the control lock, but then sometimes we couldn't get it out of control lock. I will say the replacement part that I received was new and it included to longer screws. The two longer screws were meant to replace the two shorter screws up in the top right and left corner. The newer control panel is not in the same form factor as the older version. It all fits together, but it looks from the inside or part you wouldn't see different and the two top corners need longer screws to screw from the inside panel into the new style control panel.

Good video, I have similar issues, however, my keypad does work but only for one wash at a time. Each time the wash ends I have to remove front panel, disconnect the wire from keypad and plug back in. It's the only way to get keypad to work. I've tried another circuit board for the key pad and that too behaves the same. Could it be the actual control board?? Parts are expensive and right now lots n lots of sales on brand new units. Not sure what to do. Any help is great. Thanks

[@HandyDoctor89]

Thank you. It's probably indeed the control board. Used parts are cheaper and it's what I got and it still runs great. But if new machines are on sale, it's not a bad idea either.

[@susieragsdale9050]

What does it mean if you run the diagnostic and the error code button doesn't blink, it remains solid?

[@johnnybravo-jj8uw]

Thank you, but what's that part called

[@HandyDoctor89]

Control panel. You should buy it by its name though. There are many with the same name. The part number should match in order to work,

[@MyTayTay]

I just think the way you press the button is a little bit weird. It doesn’t look like you are press, instead you swipe down.
