Well....I'm glad I didn't order the part...I took the front panel off and found that the door switch plunger was just worn enough that it would not allow the panel to start...I extended the plunger with some plasticglue and now the unit functions properly.

Expert:  william replied 1020 days and 3 hours ago.

that plunger is made to move in/out you might want to get a new one thats called a wax motor

Customer replied 1019 days and 9 hours ago.

Well....looks like my problems are still continuing...when I mount the control panel in its proper place...it doesn't work....when I just let it hang from its ribbon connector...it works just fine...so it seems to be a connector problem or continuity in the ribbon..I have ordered a new panel.
