Kenmore HE3 Washer control buttons and cycles only partially responding?

I'm only able to use the Delicate, Whitest Whites, and Heavy Duty cycles and none of the modifiers work (the buttons don't respond with the modifiers). In order for me to use the Heavy Duty cycle I have to press Normal/Casual and in order to use Whitest Whites I have to press Ultra Handwash while with Delicate it works with pressing Delicate. If I press Heavy Duty or Whitest Whites it comes up with a ridiculous 11 Minutes on the screen. In none of the modes will the Modifier buttons (Water Temp %26amp; Spin Speed) respond - the setting is fixed. The End of Cycle buttons respond, while the Options buttons only respond when pressing several at the same time but the LEDs don't light up. I tried unsuccessfully to run the diagnostics by using the following sequence of button presses: DRAIN/SPIN button, SPIN SPEED to NO SPIN, hit PREWASH 4 times within 5 seconds. However it's impossible to do since I'm unable to change the Spin Speed setting. The DRAIN/SPIN and RINSE/SPIN buttons respond.Kenmore HE3 Washer control buttons and cycles only partially responding?
Have you tried unplugging it for at least five min, then plugging it back in, running a normal light wash only then checking again? these things have actual computers in them now.. might need to reset.Kenmore HE3 Washer control buttons and cycles only partially responding?
