I'm assuming it is the control board, but was wondering if there are any disgnostics I can run to confirm the issue. Whirlpool documentation is no help.

You could check the control panel/keypad but it does sound like the control board is toast. File Attachment(s): GEW9200.pdf (335kb) downloaded 9 time(s).

Everything else seems to check out OK so all that is left is the control board. If you order from AppliancePartsPros they will allow you to return the board if it does not fix your problem. Please see teir return policy.

And thanks for getting back to us. Now when others search for a similar problem they will see what actually worked instead of just suggestions about what could be the cause.
