dishwasher problem

My dishwasher just stopped in the middle of a cycle. Water did not drain out and now none of the lights on the control panel work at all. It is getting power at the switch and from the wall and the water supply is fine. There was no forewarning or occassional problem it just quit. Any idea what the problem could be or should we just get a new one?

Check the thermal fuse (#4 on the [B]diagram[/B]) for continuity.
