The other night we smelled something "hot" (possibly electrical) around the dishwasher so we stopped it & were going to look into next day. Well the next day daughter goes to start it (not knowing all of this happened) and the LED lights light up like it is going to start & then turns off. It will not run or drain. The LED lights light up when they are pressed, but nothing happens. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. PLEASE tell me it's not time for a new one!! :(

PLEASE tell me it's not time for a new one!! :( Msladyh, Several things you should check, first. Remoev the lower access panel, and kick plate, remove power to the dishwasher, remove the cover from the junction box cover, and check the wiring and wiring nuts for damage, loose, burn marks. From there we need to suspect a problem in the door switches or wiring, or the control panel keypads. HIGH TEMP WASH ⇒ HEATED DRY ⇒ HIGH TEMP WASH ⇒ HEATED 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 Start/Resume key.
If you cannot program the diagnostic cycle, suspect the keypad / control panel assembly is at fault.
Good Luck,
:) :) :)
