Common solutions for: GE Dishwasher buttons not working
01 - GE Dishwasher Touchpad
First, confirm that the dishwasher display is working. If the display is still working, try pressing some of the touchpad buttons. If some of the buttons respond correctly but others don’t, it is likely that the touchpad is at fault. (Some manufacturers sell the touchpad separately from the control panel. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the touchpad and control panel together. If you cannot replace the touchpad individually, replace the touchpad and control panel.)

03 - Incoming Power Problem
If there are no indicator lights or any noise from the dishwasher when it is turned on, it is likely there is no power getting to the dishwasher. Check the circuit breakers or fuses. Since most dishwashers are hardwired (not plugged in), the junction box on the dishwasher should be checked for loose or burnt wires.
04 - GE Dishwasher Main Control Board
The main control board regulates nearly every function in the dishwasher. If there is a problem with the main control board, it might not send voltage to the dishwasher touchpad, causing the touchpad buttons not to work. Control boards are often misdiagnosed; make sure you test more commonly defective parts before replacing the main control board.
