Control boards are the most expensive component in a washer — always run a full diagnostic cycle first (consult your service manual for the key sequence) to confirm the board is the root cause. Many error codes that appear to be board failures are actually caused by a failed lid lock, motor sensor, or loose harness connector. Confirm the fault is in the board before ordering.
