Two days ago all buttons had to be pushed very hard. Now nothing lights at all. Any possible fixes other than replacement and how difficult replacing the panel? Dishwasher is only 6yo and works great otherwise.

Use a hair dryer to heat the buttons until very warm while rubbing very firmly over them. Does it restore any of the buttons?

No buttons worked. Checked breaker earlier.

There is a way you can test the keypad but it is not easy if you are not proficient with using a meter. I have the door and front apart and have a circuit tester, not a meter. Do I need to open the black box that, I guess, contains the controls?

Can be specific as which ones should be hot. I turned the wall switch on and touched several pairs inside the box and no indicator light.
