| [title] Testing switches | |

| + | [* black] The two arrows on the right show the clips that were holding the right side in place. |
| [* black] At this point you could use a ohm meter to test some of the switches. The resistance when the switch is pressed should be a few ohms or less. | |
| - | [* black] My switches measured between 200 ohms and 2K ohms and are therefore the problem. |
| - | [* black] The picture with the circles shows where a few of the switches are. Again, make sure the washing machine is unplugged. Put an ohm meter across the two large solder globs in the circle and press the button. You may need someone to hold the control panel while you do this. |
| - | [* black] Mine showed about 7K ohms when not pressed. If when pressed the resistance is a few ohms than that switch is OK. If it's much higher it's probably bad and you should replace the switches. |

| + | [* black] If this is too awkward you can remove the control panel and then test the switches (see the next step). |
| + | [* black] My meter showed about 7K ohms when not pressed. Note: The 7K ohms is from resistors on the board, not the switch. When the switch is pressed the resistance between the solder blobs should be a few ohms or less. If the resistance is much higher it's probably bad and you should be replaced. |
