Probably a keypad gone bad. Try replacing the keypad.
There is a troubleshooting guide behind the foot kick panel. It gives a sequence to test for a bad keypad. You can try that sequence to be sure.

Make sure the controls are not locked. Some units have the ability to lock the controls so that kids cannot turn on the dishwaher. You can also try unpugging the power to the unit from under the sink for about 10 minutes and then plug it back in. This may reset the control board if it has a fault and stopped from error code.

Float valve is jammed.
Look inside the machine on the floor will
be a small float valve. Looks like a small upside down cup. Lift it and
clear anything from underneath.
The valve is a safety feature
to stop the machine from over filling. If anything gets under the valve
it will jam open and stop the machine.
Not working?
Check for a clog internal or external.
Scoop
as much water our as you can. Open the cover on the floor of the
machine. Usually just turns and lifts out or snaps out some are screwed
in. Take your time and try not to force anything. Look for a clog
there.
Check for clog in the drain. The dishwasher will
connect to the drain under your sink and run either directly to the
drain or into your disposal unit. Remove open the connections and look
for a clog. Clear if necessary.
Not the clog?
Water is
pumped out by the machine via an internal pump located under the base.
If it fails the water will collect until it trips the float valve.
First scoop out all the water from the machine and run it again. If
water comes in and it runs to the point it fills again and trips the
float then either the pump or timer is faulty.
Pump check.
Remove
the machine. It will be held in place by screws directly into the
counter top. You may have to lower it to get it out. The front feet
turn with a wrench to lower.
Turn off the water supply. Run the unit again until you get to the drain cycle.
Connect
a test light or voltage tester to the terminals at the pump. Check for
voltage at the pump. If you have voltage replace the pump. If no
voltage the timer is faulty.
Timer problem?
Some can be replaced as a unit others are integral to the control panel. Turn style can be replaced. Touch control can not.
