main control board is gone - replace is the only advice I can give you - do you have the whirlpool 8 yr parts warranty

Turn the dial to the 6 oclock position. It should just be a dot above the 6 sense writing.
Then press the start button 3 times.
Then turn the dial 1 click clockwise.
Then press the start button again 3 times.

You may need to try a few times. If it doesnt work then try pressing the start button 4 times instead.

opened it up cleaned everything i could again and followed the above not working again thank god
