Common Symptoms
- Washer fails to begin a selected cycle.
- Cycle functions do not sequence correctly or a cycle does not complete.
- Washer displays control-related error codes or does not respond to selections.
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the control board or its wiring.
- Confirm the washer model number is one specified for W11616491 before condemning the board.
- After power is disconnected, visually inspect accessible board connectors and wiring for loose, damaged, or visibly burned connections.
- If the washer can enter its manufacturer-specified diagnostic mode, record any displayed fault codes and follow the model-specific technical sheet; do not treat a code alone as proof that the board has failed.
Pro Tip
A control-board symptom can also result from a loose connection or another washer component; verify the model-specific wiring and diagnostic information before replacing the board.
