About an hour or so later, I came home to a clean load but a burnt smell in the house. I found out that the smell came from our Whirlpool Quiet Wash Plus 940 Series - Model No. DU940QWDZ3. The control panel no longer works. Pictures of the problem are located at Dishwasher What is the next step? Replace the unit (my thinking), control panel or what? Looking forward to the valued insight. Thank goodness that the house did not burn down. :) Woolfland

Looking at the amount of damage and the age of the unit you probably would be better off with a new unit.
