Came home and loaded machine as usual. Pushed the preferred cycle - no joy on the control panel. Ensured outlet was still providing power (it is). Trying to get to control board to see if anything obvious - removed square head sheet metal screws on back of control panel - but cannot figure out how to remove the cover. Does anyone have a service manual for this machine?

EDIT - Finally got cover off. Was able to verify voltage up to P16 L1 IN and NEU IN - but did not get any readings at P16 at L1 TO MOTOR and SW NEU - looks like it may be a bad K1 - will order new board and see if that fixes the issue.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much - much appreciated. (your link to buy you a beer ;-) does not work)

that's not quite the same Control Panel assembly ...

The front of the machine looks different from mine - but the picture of the control panel assembly does look like the one I pulled out, as does the motor controller. The part I ordered was based on the p/n sticker on the one I pulled.

Thanks

And the saga continues. Obtained a new controller board - plugged it in and all was good. Ran a test run with no clothes - all went fine.

Put in some sheets, ran a normal load - ran for about 5 minutes and died - no response from board or controls.

Ready to throw in the towel and get a new washer (I have hated this thing from day one). Any recommendations on a GOOD top-loader that actually cleans the clothes ;-)

Thanks in advance
