Lights indicate no power on the button strip (they do not flash)

I have a Whirlpool gold series Dishwasher - model number: WDT710PAYM5. Dishwasher won't start and no lights come on at touch pad. I've tried the two resets that I know of ("high heat" and "normal" buttons pressed 3 times within 3 seconds and unpluged the dishwasher for 1 minute and pluged back in) to no avail. Power arriving to cord at receptacle (120v), and I am able to verify that power is arriving to the control panel, though I don’t know what to test beyond that to see if any power is arriving else where (door latch, buttons etc) High Limit Thermostat and heating element test for continuity. (Unsure of where a fuse would be located on this model if there is one?) Suspect control panel is the problem. What steps are taken to test control panel or is replacement just the only option? Also I assume if the multi-meter beeps that I can declare continuity (is that fair to say?)
