Symptoms, first wife said all she could get was normal cycle. I said no, you didn't press that crappy little button pad correctly, and it worked right. Next day, NOTHING, no lights, no button response. So I am guessing another control panel is bad. One note is that she did point out that it no longer makes a "click" sound when unpluged and plugged back in?!!? For whatever thats worth.
I am savvy enough that if anyone here has any suggestions, and even inclusive of some soldering on the board, I am up for it. I just dont know where to start with all the circuitry. Any help greatly appreciated....:) BBC, Here's a couple of checks to make, Check and make sure you have 120 VAC at the junction box on the lower frame, behind the lower kick plate / access panel. You'll need to access the control board and control panel, and other components. visually inspect the thermal fuse, and control board, if you have a multi meter, check the fuse for a closed circuit, Part number: AP3115186
Next, check the door switch assembly, switches and wiring for circuits,and damage. Part number: AP3103581
I don't think you'll need a control board, but , Disconnect the touch pad ribbon from the control board, clean the insertion end of the ribbon tracer with alcohol, I do the same on the connector on the control board, be careful, once the ribbon is dry, make sure you insert it tightly into the board connector. The control board would be the last resort, If all checks are OK, replace the control panel key pad assembly, first, Part number: AP3885274
