For Whirlpool Control Panel (Part Number: OEM18038706)

Gary for Model Number KUDI01ILWH2

After a period of being finicky (e.g., sometimes requiring multiple pushes to start) my dishwasher now fails to start at all. I think the issue is the touchpad as 1) when it starts it works fine and 2) one of the other buttons doesn't work (and I got it to work after detaching and reattaching the ribbon cable. My question is whether their is a way to test that this is the problem (and not something with the control board) before ordering the part.
