If you are referring to the Child-lock feature which deactivates the buttons from use then usually on Kenmore dishwashers you can deactivate this child lock by holding the "No Heat Dry" button for 4 or more seconds. This should get the panel to respond again.
Hope this helps. Please do rate my answer. Many Thanks.

The dishwasher fills up and after about 3-5 mins the unit stops working and the the normal wash (which is the cycle I select) and the washing indicator lights start to flash. This started last night and I opened the door and started the unit with it opened to see what was happening and the water started to shoot and then would stop and kept on repeating this every few seconds. Then it would start again for a few minutes, then stop again. It will fill up but wont go to the next step
