Here is the parts breakdown
Model MDE5500AYQ

And here is a service manual
http://www.servicematters.com/m...ibrary/docs/16023110.pdf

If you cannot diagnose/clear it using the diagnostics then:
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.

If this does not fix it check the keyboard with a meter.
Just a good idea to make sure the keypad is good, if it is then odds are high that it is the control board.
