Hi, I have a Whirlpool Calypso Washer and it will not respond to any commands. The panel always reads 44 minutes just as if you were select the normal wash for your cycle. It does not respond to any other buttons being pushed. If you were to unplug the washer and then plug it back in, it immediately comes back on with the same display again without you having to push anything. I am just not sure what part could be the problem. Is it the control board or the touch panel itself. Any advice or guidance that you could give would be great.
Our Whirlpool washer is GVW9959KQ0, bought in September 2001,
in September 2010 it had the problem as follow.
When the panel was lite up, it was always set at “44” minute, NORMAL wash,
no touch area is responsive, not even STOP or START.
Since the washing functionality sounds and looks working well to me,
I thought that the panel might be the culprit.
We ordered Control Panel Assembly (Parts AP3884746,
it is just the panel part where we touch for washing selections
w/o electronic boards behind it) at appliancepartspros.com
(cost $177 + regular S&H, arrived in 2 business days),
as suggested by many posters in the internet who has almost
exact same problems. It works for now, just had 3 consecutive loads.
Hope it works for years to come… BTW, our drier had the same problem,
back then 4 years ago, its Panel Assemby was also replaced.
hese problems happened after we had power outage, probably power surge,
during storms.
Hi NSSS, im havng the same propblem with my Calypso washer. Planing to order the Control Panel Assembly, but before doing so like to check with you on how yours is performing. my washer lite up showing 28 minute and after which no touch area is responsive as well.
Can anyone at APP send me a diagram on how to replace the Control Panel Assembly AP3884746 on the Whirpool Calypso Model #GVW9959KTO as suggested by NSSS. we do have the same problem on this model. Thanks.
