I have a Kenmore dishwasher model 665.17829000. The last few weeks in order to get it to run you had to keep playing with the start button by pushing it over and over or sliding your finger across it, thought the contacts were going bad but then noticed that the delay start light was doing the same thing and that the light on the light wash cycle wasn't working either.

Once started it ran fine but today it quit sometime during the cycle, there is water in the bottom of it but it looks clean, no soap or food particles. Nothing on the control panel works now, no lights or any controls.

I think it's either the micro computer board inside the door or the door control panel that is causing the problem, any way to narrow down which is at fault ?

I didn't fix mine, wasn't sure if it was the computer board or the front panel control board and buying both would cost as much as a new washer would. I did find out that there is a thermal breaker in the door and if it breaks the front control panel won't do anything.

Sorry we missed your question. Are you still willing to fix the dishwasher?

Doubt it. It's a roll around model and have been looking into the possibility of removing the old dishwasher from the cabinet and putting an under the counter model in it.
