Hi,
Thanks for writing to Fixya.com.
Please do the following to reset the washer. Normally the clean light sometimes flashes and just needs to be reset. To do so hit the keys in the following order. <Heated Dry> <Normal Wash> <Heated Dry> <Normal Wash> <Cancel>.
The dishwasher will go through a cancel cycle (drain the tub) and will then let you start it up again
Thanks for contacting Fixya and please accept the solution if it has helped you.

Probably a keypad gone bad. Try replacing the keypad.
There is a troubleshooting guide behind the foot kick panel. It gives a sequence to test for a bad keypad. You can try that sequence to be sure.

The part you need is the console, what happens is moisture gets into the 'keypad' and causes corrosion shorting out the trails. The keypad is not a serviceable part it comes complete with the console which is not too hard to replace. I can help you with that if you want.
The part number you need is 8574148, it also has substitute number of W10083998
You can try calling Kitchen Aid to obtain the part or look in the yellow pages in your area for an appliance parts dealer. If it were me I would try KitchenAid first you never know they may cut you a break since you are a loyal customer...... if you know what I mean....
