I have a 2005(approximate) Whirlpool Quiet Partner II dishwasher.

 
 
 

Customer Question

I have a 2005(approximate) Whirlpool Quiet Partner II dishwasher. I can't seem to start the unit using any of the "sensing wash CYCLES".
Press ANY of the cycle choices, nothing happens. Also, nothing happens if you press "Delay Hours 2-4-6" button(but maybe a cycle has to be successfully selected first?). Pressing any of the OPTIONS buttons work
(Hi-Temp, Air Dry, Cancel/Drain). Unit has power, that's not a problem. This is a "before they had displays" type dishwasher.

Expert's Answer

Hello,

The only thing that would cause this issue is the touch pad. The touch pad assembly is sensing a stuck or shorted key. You need to replace the touch pad to fix the dishwasher friend

Okay, whirlpool model number is XXXXX Searched a couple sites online, didn't see anything called a "touch pad". How about control panel? Would that be the component I'd need to replace?
