[Electronics-Talk] dishwashers

The GE I have is model GLD7768V00SS. It has push buttons with lights to
indicate if they've been pushed or not. The select cycle button has a series
of lights, and as you push the button, it cycles between the different
lights. Like I said, I find it very simple and accessible.
