Do-It-Yourself Story

Diagnosed problem by checking resistance changes on pins as control buttons are pressed as described in the Whirlpool service manual. The exact part that my dyer needed with is no longer available. The Appliance Part Pro.com website listed 3 other control interfaces that would work with my dryer. I ordered one of the alternate panels and it arrived quickly. Installation was simple and straight forward, except for some button to hole alignment. Ended up having the enlarge the holes on the "Cycle End" and "Temperature" buttons because of a slight misalignment (0.050") to allow them freely move and reset when pressed. Dryer was fixed and running within 48hrs of diagnosis of the problem.
