I bought this dishwasher as a used unit. Installed it yesterday and noticed that out of the 6 cycles on the control panel only the Normal cycle works. Try pressing all the other short, heavy, etc. cycles and they don't light up. The dishwasher works fine and is very quiet. Wanting to know what could be the problem?

Could not find any info on this unit using the given Model Number.
Hopefully others will have better luck.

I would try the following.
Usually number of keypad buttons will use a single common, so perhaps that common is the problem.

RIBBON CABLE CLEANING
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.

Yesterday I got a different button to magically turn on. I do think it is something with the keypad. I will try your suggestion...I just bought the service manual and it didn't seem very helpful.
