Additional info: We can get the dishwasher to work if we push extremely hard but it takes several attempts.

The tech sheet shows how to check it with a meter. Could also be that one of the door switches is just making and pushing on the panel shuts the door enough to activate the switch. I would try the following first in case pushing hard on the panel is moving the ribbon cable enough to get the unit going. 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.

Please contact my attorney Eppsteiner & Fiorica Attorneys, LLP at 866.548.8857 and let them know if you own or owned a dishwasher with control panel failures.
