Membrane switch error

Power cycle at breaker for 60 seconds — moisture may dry out
Press each button to check for physically stuck keys
Wipe control panel dry — steam from cycles migrates behind the membrane
If Er persists after drying, the membrane overlay or control board has failed
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Er from steam damage often resolves by running the dishwasher empty with door slightly ajar for an hour to dry the panel. If it recurs after every wash, the door vent is directing steam onto the controls.
