Dishwasher skips the wash cycle and stops at the rinse cycle

My Kenmore Dishwaser skips the Wash cycle and stops at the rinse cycle. Any Ideas on what the problem is?

In order to provide the most accurate advise I need the complete model number of the dishwasher. Also I need as much description of the problem as possible,

hello I have a KITCHEN AID DISHWASHER MODEL NUMBER KUDIOITJWHO IT WILL FILL WITH WATER THEN GO TO HEAT CYCLE FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN DRAIN

Does it have any time intervals between heat and drain? Does it make any noise?

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL KUDI01TJWH0 | AppliancePartsPros.com

no THERE IS NO DELAY FROM HEAT CYCLE AND DRAIN CYCLE IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY NOISE TILL DRAIN CYCLE STARTS

no THERE IS NO DELAY FROM HEAT CYCLE AND DRAIN CYCLE

Check the wash pump motor and if there is nothing wrong then most likely the problem is a bad control board. The tech sheets might help.
