This has been an ongoing problem for at least 5 years. holding the power button for sometimes up to 10 minutes seems to have worked in the past but is not working any further. MCC has been checked for loose or corroded connections with no issues found. If it runs a full diagnostic check with no issues what could be the issue causing the power button to not work.
I would replace the Motor control board.
Testimonial: "Why? What would indicate an MCB that was bad, And as a side note the damn thing started working again...? It appears to be something in the front control board power button. Still interested in your reasons for an MCB replacement"
Because it is the board the carries the most current and therefor it gets hot and heat is electronics worst enemy. Also it is a common failure. It is a guess based on what I have seen work. Go to applianceparts.com and ask the forum.
Ok Thanks, the unit had been shutdown for 3 weeks prior to use. No power to it at all. but it is now working and still no error codes.. go Figure
I am just guessing here, so have a pro look at it.

start with Activating the service diagnostic modes. You can start with the cycle selector knob at any position.
If there are no error codes stored, I recommend that you start from the beginning (step 1 above) and then run the Automatic test mode. If this unit detects a problem, it will display the error at the end of this test.
Post the results back to me.
I know how frustrating it can be when appliances do not function properly.
This particular washer has a test that we can run to see any errors. This can be confusing on this model.
I am including a document below that will describe how to view the old error codes. Use the section that starts with Activating the service diagnostic modes. You can start with the cycle selector knob at any position.

I hope this is helpful. Post back your results.
