WAG2170,

If you can not set up the clock and/or eliminate "PF" after power was reset then, most likely, the problem is a bad membrane switch. I'm assuming when you said "I have already replaced the circuit board" you meant the clock.

- The part number for the membrane switch assembly is AP4263577

Go ahead send e-mail to Whirlpool to complain the problem. As more complain to Whirlpool I hope they'll take some action, like "RE-CALL". see below for where to complain.

Here are more case has the same problem happen after one year warranty, But I
truely belive Whirlpool brand should last much longer, especialy at this higher
level product. see attached post from different web site.

WAG2170,

Looks like the problem is a bad membrane switch which comes as a part of a new, redesigned control panel.

I do not think Whirlpool will take it as a recall because this problem did not cause any danger to the consumers. Consumers could try to file a group lawsuit which is very hard and takes a very long time.

- The part number for the control assembly (included the membrane switch) is AP4263577

Gene.
