Glad to help!

Thank you!

I don't have time to rewrite it again sorry. It is explained a number of times here in the comments.

Great!

How did you get the front plate off. I got the back plate off but now I’m stuck

I think there are pretty good instructions in these comments, but it's just screws and plastic tabs.

I understand your frustration. Sadly, I don’t think you’re alone.

Just give it a good tug! It just pops off!

Agreed. My wife and I will volunteer to be the lead plaintiffs. Any attorneys out there ready to go?

Wow! Great! Thanks for giving back those details on the tape! Glad it worked

@willroberts14 We are having the same issue. Thank you so much for this insight! I have a question did you put the fabric tape directly on the backside of the rubber button? Or did you place the fabric tape strips on the back of the plastic housing (spanning over the rubber back of the button)?

@@ChordStruck The fabric tape must be able to carry electricity. It has to wrap all the way around so it connects the point of contact where your figure touches and carries the charge all the way around the foam to the silver circle contact behind the foam.

Thanks for the comment. Good luck!

You may be the exception. It could be the motherboard, it just never has been for any of us. Watch the video again very carefully. You'll figure it out!

I would go with one of the foil solutions. Just take aluminum foil and roll up some and hammer it down to a solid chunk that fits in the square of the button. That won't compress anymore like foam will (again). There are a few descriptions of the aluminum foil solution in these comments. You'll get it!

My machine is still working great with the compressed cube of aluminum foil replacing the foam!

Well, you could. But realize you are dealing with electricity-not much. The button is down inside a box, and only a very small finger could reach it, or maybe your pinkie finger twisted just so. The fix of just adding a small hammered cube of aluminum foil to replace the flattened foam is much easier, and the machine will not appear to be damaged.

yeah I was thinking once you cut away the top cover panel, you could make some kind of an actual tactile "button" to replace or connect with the felt/tape box that goes inside the button enclosure that's on the board. FYI, back in fall 2020, CostCo gave us 2-years warranty, plus another 2-years if you purchase using the Costco credit card from Citibank. Trying to get a local quote on this repair right now which may get us a whole new washer if we can get it wrapped up in the next month before the 4th year expires... but I know as soon as we fix the washer situation, the dryer button will go bad next.

@@Schweigardt I wouldn't do the cutting and reinventing. Too much trouble there. Just open the thing up. Take a small bit of aluminum foil and hammer it into a hard cube the size of the button plastic square opening, set it into the square. Replace the cover. Done. It will never compress like the foam did. I did the new foam etc the first time (obviously, see this video!), but had to do it again a year later. I'm keeping the aluminum foil as the best idea. I've got the matching dryer. Doesn't have the problem, yet. I'm about five years in on these I think.

Tons of pointers in this comment thread. But it basically has plastic snaps all around that you will probably have to put a flat head in. They will break. Good luck!

Well, there are probably three or four or more fixes in this comment thread. I ended up having to fix it again, but I used a bit of aluminum foil and hammered it into the same shape as the foam should have been and that solved the problem.

Glad we could help!

The motherboards did not previously solve the problem. You must have had a "mother board" problem, not a button problem.

@@SkipWhatAboutTonightI did. That’s why I changed it.

Hi, ive been reading all comments. So far nothing has worked. I still have no power? Everything is clean and looks perfect? Im worried if i spend $200 on new motherboard it might not work? I live country so not too many shops here and have to wait for deliveries? So frustrating...

There are comments on this page about springs too. But if you've got the money to replace good for you!

@@juliette8463 does the machine turn on if you take out the foam and just touch the sensor underneath?

Thanks! I'm glad they finally know what the problem is. I figured it out two years ago. They must have watched my video! Don't pay a repairman, it's not that hard! But mine doesn't have WIFI.

@@SkipWhatAboutTonight mine was under warranty so the fix is free. Repairman said it was definitely poor engineering. They developed a replacement part for this reason. He said the other issue is that sometimes the “touch” feature doesn’t work b/c hands are too cold. Press it often enough the foam will always expand.

Good job! Whatever works!

I have watched every yt video nd read every comment. So far nothing has worked yet? So inconvenient and frustrating? I havent given up yet? Glad everyone else is winning. Send a prayer, thanks

I do not know. I don't think anyone in this thread has found them. They are just "part of the board" assembly.

Whatever works! Haha, even if it's just a temporary fix. But, yeah, you can't add to existing videos on UA-cam. Someone probably has it online somewhere. Seems like you figured it out tho! Pretty much just a couple screws and a snappy thing or two for anyone who needs instructions!

If the panels look the same I'm sure it will be the same technology.

Of course! Great people and great solutions in this comment thread!

I think you just pull it!

Yes, it should snap out of there, but you will break some of the plastic. This question has many answers in the comments. Basically just break it out but then use a couple small screws in the unused holes to hold it together when you are done.

@@SkipWhatAboutTonight finally got it this morning, definitely had to break some of the little plastic snaps. oops, lol. but it works!!

Why not? Look for the comments below about doing that. You WILL break some plastic tabs, but a small screw in the unused holes will hold it together when you put it back together! You got this!

Love to help!

Yep, my second round after the foam failed again I did the foil and it's still working.

Very carefully! haha, it will be stipped, cracked and broken when you are done. But if I recall you can use some small screws to hold it together after you have destroyed the snaps!

Just got it off....lost 2 tabs but oh well. It was indeed the touch screen button...the spring type. I glued some foil on the back of the button face for power and start works again.

@@tc4927 Good thing you figured it out! None of the techs know how to work on these things!

I feel your pain! However, in this are thread are lots of easy fixes! Don't give up yet!

At this point I think the concensus is to just compress some aluminum foil into a small cube that replaces the foam/fabric altogether. I have had my machine apart more than I care to admit, but the last thing I did was the foil square the size of the foam, and it is the best solution I believe.

OK. Thank you. I'm going to take the cube from one of the functions we have never used.

You should search these comments. There are some mentioning that. It's just a few screws that are pretty simple to find though.

Yep! Thanks for the comment!

The replacement foam that I put in for this video has now failed. I took a small piece of aluminum foil and hammered it down to almost cubical the same size as the foam and inserted it in place of the foam this time. It's working again for the time being!

Haha, what? How do you know that? Did I mention that in here somewhere? Yes, I am Will Ferrell impersonator! www.LinkTr.ee/impersonate

Fantastic! A great solution!

OK, everyone new, try this first! But all of us with the squished foam know that is definitely a problem. If there's no contact anymore, there's no electricity!

I guess you didn't read or watch that part, but that is the first thing they tried. The ONLY tech in KC that would even come out and work on it and he took so many service calls and then gave up. Crazy!

@@SkipWhatAboutTonight I just did 2 yesterday all I do is put a small square of tin foil in front of the pad some just have springs no pad but it’s the same fix

@@AMERICANPRIDE1100 Until the foam compresses even more, I would guess! But good to know!
