Maytag Dishwasher lights flashing

We have recently come accross a problem with our maytag dishwasher. The dishwasher wont start but in the middle of the dishwasher on the control pannel, where the time countdown is, the dishwasher is constantly counting down from 60 to 1 in 60 seconds then starting over. Also at the same time the cycle options light up in order, going from normal cycle to china crystal and on down the line and at the end they start over again. None of the buttons will respond and I have no idea where the manual is. If you can help in any way it would be greatly appriciated.:slight_smile:
