First I checked the breaker and outlet and both were good...then I unplugged the machine, took the top off, and removed the control panel. I check the wiring to see if there were any loose plug ins, etc...This is where I figured the panel was bad (or possibly the power cord) so I ordered both. The parts arrived the next day. (incredibly fast shipping) Since I wasn't expecting them til after the weekend I left everything disassembled and went on a mini vacation for a couple of days. Upon returning I plugged the machine in just for grins and It worked. I have no idea what the problem could've been, but I returned the parts and was issued a full refund aside from shipping. I was very pleased with AppliancePartsPros customer service and will definitely recommend them as well as use them in the future.
