Dishwasher won't start

Gene if you are out there??

Not sure what repair parts to purchase. )ver the last 2 weeks the lights on the control panel have been failing. It started on the right side - (wash type select) then moved to the center (start). now when start is pressed nothing happens.

Is there a way to repair the switch/light assy or will i need to replace the control panel? the panel is black and the s# starts with 32.

Thanks for the help,

Perform the manual function test as described in the Tech sheet (page 5) and post the results.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG MDBTT50AWS Dishwasher - Undercounter | AppliancePartsPros.com

Thanks Gene:

Tried to initiate the test sequence 3 times but it would not work. The heated dry LED alternated on/off each time it was depress. That is all that happened.

Sounds like the problem is a bad control panel, but there is a small chance for the control board to be bad as well.
