some months ago I had a problem where none of the cycles on my dishwasher would work except pots and pans. No other buttons would light up or function.

I lived with that for some time until the other day when the dishwasher stopped working altogether.

I spent a lot of time reading your wonderful forum, and ultimately made the decision to roll the dice and install a new thermal fuse and new electronic control board.

That didn't solve the problem.

Now I'm trying to decide whether to try installing a new front console/key panel or just cut my losses and buy a new machine.

I'd be grateful for your thoughts and advice!

Thanks and regards, Chris

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL GU2455XTSS0 UNDERCOUNTER DISHWASHER | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is the tech sheet, it gives the procedure for checking the control panel.
See attachment.

The following is a long shot since so many keys do not work but is probably worth trying.
Connector Cleaning / Checking
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
