Thanks for this guide, it looks very easy to follow. I am thinking about replacing my control panel, it works fine except for one annoying problem, the ‘Start’ button is working intermittently. I need to push Start 2 or 3 times before the washer starts. Has anyone seen this? I may just disassemble the washer and see if I can blow out any debris.
Hello Jimjar! You can take a shot at blowing stuff out, It is probably the switch on the control panel board that is failing. especially if you don't have trouble with any of the other control buttons. So you might want to start by blowing out the start switch if you have a source of compressed air. While you handle these parts especially blowing air on them, make sure to handle them by the edges, and keep yourself grounded or at least touching something that is grounded frequently. Since the boards are encapsulated (note the honey colored material covering the board) to protect against corrosion, replacing components becomes a chore. So your next step will probably be a replacement control panel board if the cleaning doesn't help. There are services that will repair the board as well; haven't looked into relative cost. You can fix it, and that's a lot better than having to spend for another appliance.
