My whirlpool dishwasher (ADG 8410 FD) won't allow me to set a program. The display just says "Out", and when I close it, you can hear the drain pump for about a minute and then it stops and beeps a couple of times.
My first thought was that "out" meant outlet. So I disconnected the pipe and poured water into the dishwasher base so the filter area was full. Turned it on and all that water drained without issue (leaving a very small puddle at the bottom).
There's nothing in the manual that says about this "out" message. Nothing online. Any ideas? There is no F error. Turning off/on at the plug does nothing – as soon as the dishwasher is turned on it shows "Out" on the display.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Possible (probable in my limited experience) problem : the wires are corroded.
Take off the panel and inspect the cable (likely green with flat copper strands). If it's corroded, gently clean it with a magic eraser, or harsher methods if necessary. Then coat it with liquid electrical tape. Finally, inspect the seal around the door - it can be knocked off-kilter pretty easily, and just needs to be set back in place.
As I said my exp is limited, but with my dishwasher and range microwave, this has been the problem when display was snafu'ed.
If a noticeable amount of steam leaked from the top of your dishwasher in recent months, this is almost definitely the problem.
There should be some videos on how to remove the panel if you want a step by step. Good luck!
