how to reset control panel for Sears Elite dishwasher model 665.16059400 ?

My Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 665.16059400 just stopped working one day. The start button would not light up or start, but all the other buttons would light up. I let this go for a few weeks and during that time all the other lights stopped working on the panel as well. I was told that I might be able to re set the control panel. Just a few days ago a red light started blinking above normal wash and will not stop. I've tried shutting off the breaker for 30 min and the stupid light still blinks and I've also tried a few other fixes that I found here, but none have worked....perhaps they were just for that specific model number? Hopefully there is a fix out there for me........
