Child Safe mode will not release. Replace control panel? Or is there somthing I am over looking?

Have you tried unplugging/remove power from the unit for a couple minutes to see if it will reset?

Yes, no change

Here are your parts
Parts for Whirlpool KUDS25SHWH1 Dishwasher - AppliancePartsPros.com

See the attachment for the tech sheet.
Unforetunately it does not give a pin-out for the keypad.

The problem will be either with the keypad or the control board.

If the lock light is flashing I would try the keypad first as this could be a stuck key problem.

If it is on solid I would replace the control board.

Either one is a bit of a gamble.

Light does flash, but i don't see a separate part for the pad only control assy. My unit is white and the only one I see available is black! If it is a stuck key and can be freed.That would be nice.
Thanks denman

Give the parts people a call they have more info than I do.
There are a number of versions of the control panel listed but they are all just black. They should be for the different colors so it may just be a problem with this data set..
Always a possibility that the other colors are no longer available, only the parts specialists will know.

Unsticking a key is very iffy.
Thy are usually bubble type keys.
There is a possibility that if you remove the panel and put it in a freezer overnight that the thermal contraction caused by freezing it will pop it back up.

I used to use a product called FreezeIt re: a freezing spray, to just freeze the one key area. This may mess up the plastic protective cover.
Works maybe 1 in 10 times.
