I have a Kenmore Elite He3 washing machine. When I push the button to select a washing cycle, the delay start time turns on and the display reads 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, etc until I push and hold the start button, and then it counts backward until it gets to 0 and then starts. Is this an issue with the front panel or the motherboard possibly?

Hi, What is the model number of the washer? Try resetting the washer in case it is a glitch in the electronics by disconnecting the power from the washing machine for 5 minutes and then reconnecting it and then check if the problem is still there or not.
