Control LED's come on. I was able to run the self test, and it goes through cycles, but does not drain at the end of the test and I cannot determine what the flashing lights (codes) indicate. Thanks..Dave

Initially there was no activity, Then after about 10 minutes it started? This morning, no response again. This all seem to have started a few weeks a go as we started noticing water setting in the bottom after every wash. I thought it was the drain pump, now it has this odd control issue. Related or 2 separate issues?

I noticed during troubleshooting, I could hear the drain pump coil energizing, but not running. I took it off and made sure the impeller was ok and would spin Looking inside where the motor went there seems to be a piece of plastic hanging down. I was able to move it slightly and the unit started working again, but still leaves a couple inches of water in the bottom that I have to hit the drain button a couple times to clear. Also does not seem to clean well. I was thinking I may need to replace this item. What do you think? Pump and Motor Assembly W10482480

The not starting issue was what sounded like it could be the user interface. The no drain issue and what you have found out now, does point toward a bad drain pump on the unit. It sounds like your on the right track.
