Will not repsond to touch pad commands. Did Normal Wash - Heated Dry diagnostics, but it didn't run according to instruction sheet I found behind kick panel. Replaced Control board with no results. Called out appliance tech who recommended touch pad replacement. I've read water temp issues may trigger faults. I'm getting tire of hand washing dishes.

I would first check to make sure your door switches are working correctly. If they are good and I assume they are 'cause it sounds like you did your homework, I would replace the touch control pad. I've been in appliance repair for 5 years and I replace these 5 times as much as control boards.. . in dishwashers. Hope this helps,
