[COLOR=windowtext][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]All of the sudden my dishwasher will not start and has the touchpad symbol for the "normal wash" constantly blinking Red(rapidly). I have been reading posts/thread for about 3 hours now… I originally thought it was the panel? But now I am starting to wonder b/c at the same time the blinking began I also noticed the door latch was floppy. When I put my hand in the outside handle and attempt to close it, It doesn’t click into place. There is no resistance it’s just kind of floppy - handle will not click anymore. I have already done all the reset codes, turned off fuse/circuit box for an hour. I could not get it to reset. So I’m assuming it’s a bad control panel. However, since the latch has suddenly turned floppy. I’M JUST WONDERING? COULD IT JUST BE THAT I NEED A NEW LATCH instead of the control panel. COULD A FLOPPY LATCH CAUSE THE NORMAL WASH TO BEGIN BLINKING RED & KEEP MY DISHWASHER FROM STARTING UP??[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]
