Control Panel Won't Turn On?

Good morning! We have the Maytag MDB8959SBS Dishwasher. As of this morning the control panel will not turn on. We purchased the dishwasher in August 2013 and had the control panel replaced in April 2017. Now it isn't working again. Any suggestions before I call a repairman AGAIN about this dishwasher? I've tried the sequencing of high temp and heated dry and also normal and heated dry and neither worked.Thanks in advance!Busy mom of 4 who needs her dishwasher
