It has a touch pad that usually lights up when you make wash/rinse/dry selections and press the start button. But Wed night nothing lit up and the dishwasher wouldn't work.

About 4 hours later I got a call from the actual repairman saying he was going to a call close to my house, and if I was going to be home, he'd stop there afterward. I readily agreed to be home (it was my day off and I was almost done running errands) and waited for him to arrive. I joked to myself that I'd hand washed all those dishes when I could have just procrastinated and washed them in the dishwasher later that day. However, the repairman discovered the main computer board had gone out, and that's not something he had in stock. He'd have to order one which would come in some time next week. So the hand washing of the dishes wasn't in vain after all.
