The 'Samurai's Ichiban Law of Appliance Repair' states "Never replace a part unless you have proof that the part is bad". And while I'm no samurai, I am cheap.
Is there any way to test that this is the problem? Even though I have only had the unit for 6-months, I did buy the unit used and therefore it would not be covered by warranty. $120 bucks for a special order seems a bit steep to just poke and pray.
Is there a way to bypass or trip the door-latch sensor to see if the unit runs?
Also, would replacing just the door latch solve the problem? I'm looking at the door parts diagram http://www.partselect.com/Schematics/Whirlpool/LTSFJUCX.gif and wondering if part 14 would do the trick. $39 in stock seems like a better choice provided it accomplishes the same.
Thanks for the new direction - I've almost scratched a bald spot on my head trying to figure out where the pressure switch was failing. Now I understand the 'Favorite Brew' question and how it relates to appliance repair.
