I have a Whirlpool dishwasher, model #: DU1345XTVQ0, SR#: FY2205772. Problem started about two weeks ago.

1. When the unit was loaded, I would normally push Normal, Hi-Temp Wash, the indicator lights would come on above each button, and then push Start; the Washing indicator light would come on and the system would work fine.

2. About two weeks ago I noticed that the indicator light above Hi-Temp Wash did not come on AND when I pushed the Start button, the system would start but the indicator light below Washing did not come on, but the indicator light below Drying would begin flashing slowly. After a short while, I will get various combinations of the Washing, Drying and occasionally the Clean lights to flash or simply come on!

3. Following number 2 above, the system appeared to function and the dishes would be clean at the end of the cycle.

4. I attempted a Diagnostics Cycle, Heated Dry-Normal Heated Dry-Normal, several times and occasionally the unit would start normally and Hi-Temp Wash light would function normally. Other times nothing would change.

5. I also cut the power to the unit in an attempt to rest the control board, but this proved useless.

6. In reading the Forum, the indication was that the control board might be bad so I purchased a new control board, installed it and the problems remain.

Before I pull out what little hair I have left, I thought I would see if anyone has any thoughts or comments about where I might turn next. I live WAY out in the country here in Texas so an on-sight repair is both costly and difficult. Many thanks in advance -

You hit the naqil on the head! Found a control panel unit as a salvage for $36.00 and it solved all the problems. Also got the board returned for a ful refund. Well done and many thanks!
