Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

Power button stopped working
First, I unplugged the dryer. The Power button itself can be removed by grasping it in your fingers and pulling strait forward. There is also a rubber gasket between the button and switch, so hang onto that. To access the area behind the power button I needed to remove the top of the dryer. It is held in place by two torx screws on either side at the back. Luckily I have a stubby screwdriver with interchangeable heads which includes two torx drivers. I used the T15 size and it worked, although I couldn't say if that is the exact size of the screw head. After removing the dryer top, I could see that behind the three push buttons (Power, Temperature, Start) are the respective Switches. Checking the schematic on Parts Select, I ordered the Power Switch. When I got it, I swapped out the old for the new one. There are four blade type connections which I did one at a time so as to get it hooked up the right way. Then guide the switch into the hole on the front panel and push the gasket and button onto it from the front. Replace the top temporarily and plug the cord back in to test it. It works! Then I replaced the torx screws to tighten down the top. The 'bit of difficulty' I had was in accessing the screws at the back as this is a compact, stackable washer and dryer which is located in a closet.
