Hello Ann,
There is something called a door switch actuator in the upper right hand corner of the frame. It's possible that's the problem or part of it. I'm concerned that you say you can press the rinse button with the latch in the open position because you should only be able to press the buttons with the latch locked.
I don't have a good picture of what it looks like as my machines are stored at the moment. Maybe someone else has one they can share. These can get broken off. There are other experts who may have a better idea but this is one thing that could cause it. Refer to Figures 38 and 40 of the attached.
Good luck with your machine. These are loved my many on this site.

Hi Vintagegirl,
Following on from chachp's response. Here are some photos of the door switch of my KDS-17. Hopefully the KDS-18 is similar. The first pic is of the pin on the upper right-hand side of the frame. The second pic is the switch through the hole that gets pushed by the pin. Chachp is right that when the door latch is in the released position, the buttons should not be able to be depressed.
Good luck. I adore my KitchenAid.
