Hello. The control panel most likely wasn't the problem...the main control board probably was blown out causing the user interface to remain off. What was the unit doing or not doing that made you replace the control panel?
BIG TIP--if you had a power interruption (such as lights dimming in the house--called a "brownout") or a full scale outage where the clocks reset, the main board very well could have been damaged by the current surge when the power came back on. *NORMALLY**, if the appliance wasn't damaged immediately, 4-6 weeks after the event, strange things will start happening or not happening with appliances because chips on the the board were damaged and start to fail. I tell all my customers to check into WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTORS--you can buy them at Lowe's or Home Depot and, your power company might install them on your house for a little extra on the bill each month--money well spent!

Try to turn off the power at the circuit breaker box, leave off for 5 mins and then turn back on and try to see if the panel resets itself. It may work or it may not.
SOURCE: door latch
look at the latch via the hole in the door where it closes to the tank? is the latch faced away from the tank? if so, then grab a paper clip and fold it so you can hook it around the latch then just pull outward towards the tank. you might need to hold that paper clip with some pliers. if it happens more than once then you will need to replace that door lock.
SOURCE: Unable to switch on. Have checked
as per the problem which you mentioned it clearly indicates that problem is with the switch in the wall unit.but you mentioned that you checked the switch and it is OK.
this means that the problem is with the main circuit control board of the wall unit.on that board the component is got blow-ned out or any of the component is got loose.you will have to check out with meter .if it looks looks then component needs re soldering but if its faulty or blow-ned out then that component needs replacement.
This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya
