User interface button stuck

Press each button on the Amana ADB console door in turn to release a key that reads as continuously held
Wipe the touch panel with a barely damp cloth to clear kitchen grease or a dried spill bridging the contacts
Dry the top edge of the door where steam escapes and wicks into the control, a common cause on a dishwasher membrane
If no button is stuck and the fault stays, the touchpad membrane has failed and the control panel needs replacing
Pro Diagnostic Tip
The Amana control blocks a start when it reads a key as held too long, and on a dishwasher the usual cause is steam wicking into the top-mounted touchpad rather than a physical jam. Dry and clean the panel first, and check the door vents away from the console before ordering a replacement touchpad.
