I have an LG WT7300CW 01 washing machine. At one point it began to turn on only when it wanted, and recently outright stopped turning on. I took it apart to take a look and deduced that when the front touch panel is attached, the thing would lock up and no longer work. I figured the issue was the panel went bad so I ordered a used replacement from eBay. Hooking that one up did not solve the problem, and I’m no longer sure what the issue is. I would think the board is the issue, but when I interface with the board without the touch panel, everything works fine. https://imgur.com/a/St0DuBY I took a video showing the issue. In the video, the touch panel is installed and the dial will not work. I quickly uninstall the panel and try to rotate the dial again, but now it works. This suggests that attaching the touch panel breaks the circuit. I could see that being the issue with the old one, but then why is this also happening with the replacement. Maybe the seller sold me a bad one I suppose, but I wouldn’t know how to test that. Right now we’re using it without the touch panel but ideally would want it fully assembled again.

This GE Monogram unit has been in operation since 2004 with minor problems. Since a couple of months ago, I have been hearing beeps from the two touch control units: the quick chill drawer at the bottom, and the control panel at the top of the fresh food section. Here are the symptoms: - I hear beeps all the time, as if there is a ghost pressing buttons, even though noone is pressing anything. when I hear beeps, I do not see the equivalent of a button press (the temperature numbers increasing or decreasing) - the temperature either sets itself to the lowest point, or the unit turns off (LED displays show "OFF"for freezer and food). - it happens randomly - I have tried resetting (from service menu), unplugging, etc. Here is what I could be possibly happening: - bad panel surfaces (the control assembly WR55X10917 is $1000+ .... HELP!) - bad control board (this unit uses the WR55X10560) Any advice would be much appreciated
