LG Dishwasher touchpad no longer works unless I unplug/plug machine

I have an LG Inverter Direct Drive dishwasher (model LDT5665ST) with a peculiar issue. Recently the touchpad becomes totally unresponsive. I press the power button and it doesn't turn on. I am able to revive it if I unplug it, and let it sit for 5 mins. When I plug it back in, it powers up and will run just fine.

I had to do this to it about 6 months ago and it had been fine ever since. Last night this problem started up again. However after running thru a cycle, it will no longer power on unless I unplug it and reset it. Seems I now have to do this very annoying process each time I want to use it. And now it seems I only have a limited amount of time after the re-plug where it will power up. I just plugged it in, and was able to power it on. I powered it off, and came back 30 mins later. Now it will not power on at all.

Can anyone diagnose this issue?

If your dishwasher is in this serial number range 607XX ~ 807XX replace the control panel.

If your dishwasher is in that serial number range the control panel has moisture issues and produces that symptom. The fix is to replace the control panel.
