Have a GE Cafe dishwasher Model # CDWT980R10SS. The Start/Reset, Added Heat and Delay buttons don’t work. All other buttons work. I can change the modes from Normal to Deep clean I can also turn on the Steam and Heated dry. But the dishwasher won’t start. The night before It was running and my wife opened the door because the kids were taking a shower and there water wasn’t getting hot enough.After the shower I closed the door and it seemed to turn on. In the morning the dishes were clean and dry. That night it wouldn’t start. Tried turning the breaker off for an hour but no luck.
Did you ever figure it out? I have the exact same problem. I’m debating replacing the touchpad which is a $250 part of just getting a new dishwasher. The part is silly expensive and I’m guessing the unit is fairly old.
