Hi

My samsung washer will turn on when I press power but then it appears that all the buttons are frozen including the power button - the only way in which I can turn it off is to switch it off at the wall.

Any suggestions gratefully received - is it a simple problem or does it require a new control panel? if so, am I better getting a new machine?

Many Thanks
