How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6017015 / WPW10205857 Control Panel

I knew it was either the control panel with the buttons or the circuit board. Getting the Circuit board was plan B if the control panel didn't fix it. I saw on the internet that a flashing Normal Wash button meant a stuck, broken button. This was true in my case and it was fixed in 15 minutes. 

Replaced control panel by removing door front (~12 phillips screws), disassembled plastic parts by unsnapping them by hand, unplugged control panel from main board and pulled quick connects off locking mechanism, removed control panel (comes right out), moved locking mechanism from old control panel and put into new control panel, assembled in reverse order. WaaaaLaaaa. Done. About 25 minutes for entire job. Works well now. 

Ordered control panel, installation was a breeze. Washer working fine. The service from aplliance Pros was outstanding, very helpful and great on a part that I had order previously , returned without any hassel. Also thier cross reference system makes sure the part you order is going to be compatiable with your appliance. Hope I don't have to use them again but if I do they will be the place I will go to. to return 

I replaced the Control Panel (includes the touchpad) 

One part and one screw driver
