GE Washer - power button not working

The ‘power’ button is very difficult to engage.

It has progressively gotten worse to the point now where it won’t start. Previously you had to push it numerous times to engage.

thoughts?

do i have to replace the board?

Unfortunately I’m afraid yes you will have to. Here is your part http://www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-control-board-asm-wh12x10355-ap3995160.html
