Gary,

The first order of business would be to look for an unsoldered 
connection.  The likely places are the Control Board and the Front Panel 
board.  Sorry, but I cannot speculate further without additional 
information.  If you do not find that elusive solder connection, then 
you should begin troubleshooting with the DC voltage measurements - 
again, the Control Board and the Front Panel Board are the initial prime 
suspects.
