Electrolux Wave Touch Dishwasher

Hi, the machine was working fine and then yesterday after i loaded it I tryed to set the job on the panel and the panel is not lighting up. I also noticed that on the bottom of the machine there is some dirty water. My husband checked to see if a fuse was out and it was not. Is there anything else to try before we call someone?

If there is more than say 1/2 inch of water in the bottom then you may have a drainage problem. Is the water clean or dirty? Typically this can tell you whether a garbage disposal or kitchen line is backed up or the drain pump is clogged within the unit.
