✓ Installation Tips

Disconnect power to the washer before beginning any repair. The control board is located behind the control panel at the top of the machine. This component is static-sensitive — handle carefully and avoid touching circuit components directly. Photograph all wire harness connections before disconnecting. The new board comes pre-programmed and installs in reverse order. Using a surge protector after installation can help extend the life of the board.
