The touchpad is usually mounted with the console on top of the dishwasher and covered with conductive paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the excess use of the buttons in the touchpad may cause the conductive paint to wear off and eventually the buttons will not be able to establish a connection with the control board through the wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the wires that connect the touchpad or membrane switch with the control board can come off from the connecting points. Therefore, simply test your touchpad or membrane switch with the help of a multimeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The touchpad is mainly connected to the control board through a ribbon-type cable. The touchpad sends signals to the control board of what function it needs to perform with the help of these ribbon-type cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes these cables can come off from the connecting points of the touchpad or control board and which is why the buttons of the dishwasher may not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you will also need to check whether the ribbon connectors or the pins of the control board are affected by corrosion or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below we have discussed all the possible reasons behind why the start button, extra dry button, on-off button, reset button, sanitize button, and delay start button are not working:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_button\"><\/span><strong>Start button:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The start button may not work for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Faulty_wiring\"><\/span><strong>Faulty wiring: <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The faulty wiring cables can cause the start button to not work.
