No other cycle will light up when the buttons are pressed and the quick cycle is useless for cleaning dishes. Assuming it is the control panel what is involved in replacing it? thanks Ben

If no diagram them using an ohm meter you can start at one side of the cable and test each pin for continuity while pushing each button. Very time comsuming. Nat
