Our dishwasher has had the light cycle light continuously flashing. When pressing other buttons, the heavy and normal light come on. this sequence alternates on each pressing of other buttons. I have cut off power to unit and when power restored the drain cycle begins, however, we are not able to cancel and unit does not respond when other buttons are pressed.

Help please

Bbanks, You most likely have an issue with the control panel/keypad assembly

Part number: AP3964229
Part number: AP3964229


" PROBLEM: WON’T RUN AND LED ABOVE KEY(S) IS FLASHING RAPIDLY
Stuck key(s) or shorted circuit(s) in keypad. Shorted circuits or connections on the control that read the keys."

Pressing the following option keys in the sequence shown will either start the
Diagnostics Cycle or turn on the Rapid Advance feature for stepping through
customer selectable cycles: HIGH TEMP WASH ⇒ AIR DRY (NO HEAT DRY)
⇒ HIGH TEMP WASH ⇒ AIR DRY (NO HEAT DRY) If the above key sequence is entered with the dishwasher in Standby, the Diagnostics Cycle is started. The Diagnostics Cycle can be rapid-advanced, interval by interval, by pressing the Pots & Pans/Anti-Bacteria or Heavy/Pots & Pans key.

After you conduct the diagnostics cycle, you'll know if the control board or the keypad is the issue.
