Product review (5 stars): Replacement solved blinking control panel issues
Over the course of about a week my dishwasher controls started going crazy.  If began with lights blinking on the controls without the ability to run the dishwasher.  After reviewing various online forums, I was able to reset the controls a couple times and able to run the dishwasher.  But eventually resetting didn't work and I had a non-working dishwasher that had blinking lights on the controls.  I found an online forum that gave the process for how to check if it was the control module or the control panel that was bad.  This involved opening the door panel to unplug the control panel, then re-assembling and plugging in to see what happened.  If the dishwasher started the drain cycle, the panel was bad, if it didn't the control module was bad.  Mine started, which seemed to indicate the panel was bad.  I found this replacement panel on Amazon and ordered it.  I received it about 5 days later and installed it.  It was well packaged in Whirlpool packaging.  I removed the old control panel and installed this one (easy process using a screwdriver).  Since then it has worked great.  No problems on the install and so far my dishwasher is back to working as it should.
