Unplug the dishwasher, take off the control panel, disconnect the ribbon from the control board. Using the cotton swab and rubbing alcohol clean both - ribbon and the plug. Let it dry and reconnect the control panel and the control board. Power up and check if it helps. Post the result.

Sorry, I just bought a new dishwasher. I tried for 2 months to contact maytag to find out if there was something to test as you so kindly, just gave me. Needless to say after all of the media atterntion to the fire hazard problem, i opted to replace it. We havwe maytag chlothes washers and 2 other Maytag appliances. I WON'T evewr buy another Matag product. Thank you for your reply, I only wish I could have tried your solution. Never know now
