Whirlpool problems

Been having problems with my dishwasher not wanting to start up, it has a pots & pan cycle, heavy, normal, light and a rince only cycle, Well the light cycle would come on and start blinking, when this would happen, the washer normally wouldn’t start up or clear, sometimes it would start, but only run for a minute or two and shut off and the light cycle light would blink, I could go to the circuit board and wiggle the wire lead coming from the panel switches and it would start and complete a cycle, but only one and the problem would start again, well now after doing this for approx. a month, the washer has nothing, like no power!! Is the control panel bad? I found that part on this site but not sure that is the problem. Help is sooo appreciated.

Most likely the problem is a bad control panel (aka console) but there is a small chance the control board is bad too.

In order to provide the right part number for the console I need the color of it.
