It took only 3 minutes to remove the control panel cover to expose the control board. I disconnected 4 or 5 connections and unscrewed one screw that held the control board in place. I was careful to replace the connections to the same locations on the new board and re-attached the control board and then reattached the control panel cover. The whole job took 15 minutes and required a Philips head screwdriver and a pair of pliers. 20 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
