Hi smnas

The first thing I would check is the connection of the control panel ribbon into the the control board slot and the ribbon itself.

One of the door switches is wired (black wires) into the hot line and it should be 120V reading on that switch. The second switch is wired (white wires) into the neutral line and should not have any power reading. If you see 120V on the switch with the white wires, it means your dishwasher is wired with the reversed polarity which is wrong and could cause damage to the control board or any other parts and also is a major safety issue.
