Cycle switches, heavy & rinse only don't light up. Normal, hi-temp, & energy saver dry do. When Normal is selected & start depressed nothing happens. When you hit cancel it clears panel, when cancel hit again by itself motor or pump starts up & nothing else, hit cancle again & it stops.
Powered off unit from the breaker, reset ribbon cable from control panel to control board still same symptoms. Any advice?? Control panel or Control Bd.???

Your Model Number seems to be short 3 digits (BL0 or something like that).
With those numbers I may be able to fi9nd a tech sheet which has the pin-outs for the keypad. This would then allow you to see if there is a line that is common to the keys that are not working.

Try the following:
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.

Here are your parts

Here is the tech sheet

Go through the diagnostics to see if anything shows up as abnormal.
I would check out the keypad's keys with a meter.
If it checks out OK then I would replace the Electronic Control Board.
Still a bit of a crap shoot but your odds are better since the control panel seems OK.
