Product review (1 stars): Poor design and engineering
Used every time the washer is used, the "hold to start" button is part of this assembly.  Pressing the button causes a plastic tab inside the user interface to flex and make contact with the microswitch starting the machine.

Did you catch that comment about plastic tab flexing?  You are right, just like a coke can tab, bend it back and forth so many cyles and it breaks disabling the machine.

My internet search turned up replacement parts priced from $180 to $380 to repair this problem since you have to replace the entire user interface assy.

You gotta love greedy companies that design machines to break.
