The start button on my LG washine machine WD14700RD is very hard to press, and getting worse.
I need to lean on it with my whole body weight in order for the program to start.
All the other buttons work fine, so I am guessing it's a problem with the contact point behind the start button.
Can I try to repair this myself? Should I just remove the top of the washing machine, then try to remove the control panel, and see if I can get behind the plastic start button?

Ok well I managed to take off the control panel. There is a little plastic arm behind the start button that had been worn down on the end and wasn't making contact with the electronic button underneath.
A little bit of tape on the end of the plastic arm did the trick.

And that's it! All you need is a screwdriver and some tape. Too easy :)
