It has not been cleaning the dishes well for a while - leaving food and detergent residue on thoroughly pre-rinsed dishes. And now, when it runs, it either runs for just a few minutes or for multiple hours. The touch pad was another indication that something is amiss. The other day I tried to change the cycle settings, but when I hit the up arrow it changed the delay start hours instead of the cycle selection (an entirely different button not controlled by the arrows). After getting the run-around from the company where we purchased it and had the extended warranty, I found and read through your forum. I'm thinking I should check the water inlet valve - we do have a lot of sediment in our water since replacing the water heater. But I know the problem is more serious than that. Do you think I need to replace both the touch pad and control module? Thanks so much for any guidance you can offer!
