Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Similar parts may use different connectors, harness configurations, or firmware versions.

Common Symptoms

• Washer not spinning or spinning at incorrect speed
• Washer not agitating or agitating weakly
• Washer stops mid-cycle with no error code
• Motor runs but drum does not move at expected speed
• F7 or E1 error codes related to motor speed sensing

Check Before Replacing

• Check the lid switch — a faulty lid switch prevents spin without triggering a board fault
• Inspect the motor wiring harness for burnt pins or loose connectors at the control board
• Test the drive motor directly — a failed motor can mimic a bad speed control board
• Check for error codes in the control board memory before condemning the speed control
