Here are your parts
Replacement parts for Maytag MDBTT60AWB DISHWASHER- UNDERCOUNTER | AppliancePartsPros.com

Please turn your cap lock off.
No one likes being yelled at.

Connector Cleaning / Checking
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.

Remove power from the unit when working on it.

If the unit is connected to the line by wire nuts. Remove them and then re-install to be sure that they are OK.

Check that the door switches close could be one of them is just on the edge of closing.
