dishwasher will not start

I have a whirlpool dishwasher that will not start.Start button and light wash button are the only buttons that do no light up when pressing.tried to reset power and door lock works. I am leaning towards control panel. Any help would be appreciated.

Very likely you are on the right track. If you need the correct part number, post the color of the console.
