If I select "Rinse" or just hit "Start", then I can sometimes hear the water running. I do, however, get alternating blinking "Drying" light and "Delay 4h light". If I hit "Cancel", then I do get all of the normal draining noises and the water drains out of the washer tub. I have tried the diagnostic mode a few times and I have tried cycling the power from the breaker without avail. Before I try replacing the electronic control board, I'd like to see if there were any other ideas on what could be going wrong.

I would replace the control panel first. If you need the correct part number, post the color of the control panel. Gene.
