Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Controls may be unresponsive or the washer may not start.
• Washer may stop before completing a cycle.
• Washer may fail to fill, drain, agitate, or spin when the board is not correctly commanding the associated components.
• Cycle timing or advancement may be abnormal.
• Visible burn marks or a burning odor may indicate board damage, although other electrical faults can cause similar symptoms.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the washer is connected to a known-working outlet and that the household circuit breaker has not tripped.
• With power disconnected, inspect the control-board area and accessible wiring connectors for loose, incompletely seated, damaged, or visibly overheated connections.
• If the washer has a display or stored fault codes, record the codes and consult the model-specific technical sheet before replacing the board.
• Observe whether the washer responds to controls and advances through the selected cycle; do not treat any single symptom as proof that the board has failed.
• With power disconnected, inspect the board for obvious burn marks, melted areas, corrosion, or damaged connectors. Do not touch energized circuitry.
