Stuart for Model Number Whirlpool Duet GHW9200L

This part has rotated slightly and when pushed it has no give, feels just very solid. All the other buttons on the UI work.How do I know if I just need a new button or need a new Central Control Unit? The CONSUMER SERVICES TECHNICAL EDUCATION GROUP PRESENTS L-68 Technical Manual indicates that when you plug the unit in, you should hear the CCU click. I am unclear if they mean the CCU or the entire washer being plugged in. If it just needs a new button, is there anyway possible to remove the UI without removing the top of the machine, as my dryer is stacked on top and in close quarters. I would appreciate your help and thoughts...

Answer

Stuart, You'll need to remove the control panel and separate the user interface and panel, Checl the inside of the control panel to see if the plastic retainer tabs, holding the start button in position are broken or deformed. and check the plastic push tab on the user interface to see if it has started to deform or break loose from the housing. As for the "click" from the CCU, You will need to have the top off the washer and be very close to the CCU When you plug the power cord into the outlet. As soon as the board relay senses the 120 VAC on the wiring, the relay closes and (clicks), but you have to listen for it, it's not all that loud a click. Good Luck and Thanks
