I am an engineer, but not a dishwasher one, but I have recently had to have some work done on mine..
It does sound like a control board problem as you say it gets stuck at the begining of the cycle.
So I would type in the exact model number and "control board" into google and look at what prices there are. In my case, if the control board had gone, I would have had to replace the dishwasher as the board and fitting would have been about £230 minimum. Mine is 11 years old. It was the pump, so the cost of fitting and new pump and unblocking a pipe came to a round £100.
The poor guy took all day though!!!
