Changing out the control panel was super easy, but unfortunately didn't fix the problem. Called repair service, and it simply is not cost effective to pay for service call and other parts and labor, so new washer being delivered in a couple of days. It's really sad commentary that it's cheaper to replace an appliance than to have it serviced.

Thanks for all of the input and suggestions!
