Fixing a Frigidaire Dishwasher?The start button on my Frigidaire LFID2426TF2A dishwasher has intermittently stopped working. The other buttons are working fine but the start button continues to flash, no matter how many times I press it. Then, out of the blue, I will try again and it works. I am guessing there must be a bad connection. Does anyone know how to repair this? Is it worth repairing?
