None of the buttons on my Calypso dryer will work. There is power to the dryer, all of the switches and sensors are working properly, motor turns freely by hand. I think it may be the main board but I would like to know how to confirm that before replacing it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Check the door switch for continuity. If there is nothing wrong then remove the wires from the "P1-2" & "P1-5" terminals on the control board and check for 120 VAC between them while the door is closed.
If there is proper voltage then the control board has to be replaced.
If you need the correct part number for the control board then post the rest of the model number.

Gene,
Thanks for the response.
The door switch is fine. The NO side shorts when the switch is engaged and the NC side opens when the switch is engaged. I do have 120V between pins 2 and 5 on the P1 connector. Looks like the control board is shot. Funny thing is that when I plugged the connector back in and applied power, I heard a faint click, like a relay. The panel worked for one press of the button (Normal) and then I hit Stop. After that, nothing again. I took the board out and checked for voltage on the bottom side of the connector to make sure it wasn't a loose pin and the voltage was there.
Full model number is GEW9868KQ0, serial number is M63814768. The part numer for the control board that I got from this site is AP3841286. If that is correct then I will be ordering it.
Thanks again for your help.
