Hi @seattlekev ,
A burning electrical smell is not a good sign.
It may be that the electronic control board has been affected by the power surge. The only way to tell is to open up the control panel and inspect the control board for damage.
Here’s a link that may be of some help as it gives the layout of the parts in the Control Panel and also the cost of the control board (part #8).
There are other suppliers if this one doesn’t suit. It was shown just to give you an idea of the cost and location of the part
If you get storms/outages frequently, for the future have you considered having the dishwasher (and other appliances as well) connected to the power outlet via a surge protector (some are inbuilt into powerboards (powerstrips?) etc. At least if a storm or outage occurs it will be sacrificed and not the appliance. The downside is that most surge protectors do not indicate when they have failed (or operated if you like) so after a storm you’re not certain if the protection is still there or not as the power is still available. The better ones do but their cost makes having a few around the place debatable.
As an aside, check the provisions of your Home Contents Insurance policy to see if the home appliances are covered for damage by storms and outages.You may be able to get it repaired/replaced under insurance. Just a thought.

My power co's line at the pole caught fire and fell onto the service cable to my home and caused some breakers to get fried. i caused some bulbs to explode, serge suppressor to fried, and our dish washer was affected. Is there a fuse in the system that protects the main board from serious damage. The dishwasher is a Whirlpool model DU1055XTVS3
