Dishwasher Repair

With the dishwasher door both [COLOR=“Red”]open OR closed [/COLOR]the 'heavy wash"," rinse only" and" auto clean" cycles buttons light when pushed, but the washer does not start.

When you press Auto Clean it lights up and the other lights turn off.

could it be the door switch or the latch assembly?

thanks for any advice
