Hello, I own a maytag dishwasher legacy series, it's about 3yrs. old.Just recently I noticed the control panel buttons do not illuminate when pushed on, other than that the unit seems to be working just fine. Do you have any suggestions on what may be the problem here?

Thanks for the help.

You could try the diagnostics to see if any of the LED's come on.
Unfortunately they do not say which tracks into the keypad are for the LED's so it is difficult to say whether it is the control board or the keypad.

You could try the following
Connector Cleaning / Checking
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.
