The Normal Wash red light flashes constantly and no other buttons are functional. Can't seem to figure out how to reset/reboot the thing. Was working fine prior. Thanks.

The light has been flashing steady for over a month. I would call it a slow flash. If I hold the cancel button, it flashes faster.

Turn the breaker off or unplug the dishwasher and use a hair dryer to heat the touch pad buttons up until very warm. Rub over each button very firmly several times as you heat them up. Does the behavior change after power is restored, any changes at all?

Can see that flashing speeds up after I hold the Cancel button. Thank you.

Turn the breaker off or unplug the dishwasher and use a hair dryer to heat the touch pad buttons up until very warm. Rub over each button very firmly several times as you heat them up.

Whirlpool W10083093 Panel-Cntl - AppliancePartsPros.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Qj8XOPdr4 A video of what I saw after powering back on. When powered back up after heating buttons, Machine started running for about 3 minutes. The Cancel light was lit up in addition to the flashing normal wash light that I started with. I killed the power again after it quit to see what would happen upon restart and the flashing normal wash was the only one that came back on. Still thinking the same thing?
