Not Able To Choose Dishwashing Cycle/options On Wdf111pabb Dishwasher

We purchased our dishwasher 7months ago. Up until today, I could choose cycle/options I wanted for running the dishwasher. Now, I can no longer get the "normal" light to appear or "high temp" to appear by pushing the button. I like to use the following options when running a load of dishes: Normal Cycle, High temp, Heated Dry. Is there a problem with the electronics of dishwasher? Or do I need to "reset" somehow?thanks
