I have a Kenmore elite Ultra Wash Dishwasher. Model 665.13189K802 The problem is the only light that lights on the panel is the drain light. When the door is closed you can hear the washer draining. However no other control buttons light. Can anyone provide any troubleshooting information. Thanks in advance.

Here are some manuals: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8010163/Whirlpool_Kenmore%20Dishwashers.zip
You may need to clean the panel where the buttons are located. On many dishwashers I peel off the rubber cover and clean both the circuit board and cover with dishwashing soap and water, then wash off with 95% rubbing alcohol, dry well in sun, then re-assemble and put a thin bead of Clear GE Silicone Caulk around outside of board to seal out moisture and dirt. Do not get silicone on contacts, though, because it will keep the carbon buttons from making electrical contact. You also probably have some corroded connections that need cleaning. That will keep the lights from working. Good luck with fixing it. You should be able to do it.
