Washer started a wash cycle and suddenly stopped.  Verified power to the back of the front panel (Pin#1 and Pin#3, at CN5 per Samsung tech info).

The tech info indicates an AC POWER CHECK at (Pin#1 of CN5 and Piin#1 of CN6) except I do not see a CN6 on the schematic or on the board.

After looking closely at the back of the front pane, some components appeared to have gotten hot or were discolored.  So having little else to go on, I ordered a new front panel.

Installing new front panel did not resolve the problem.  There are clothes in washer of course and a little water.  Of course, the door is latched.

 If anyone knows how to override the door latch, that would be helpful. 

Any ideas of how to proceed would be appreciated.

This is a Samsung WF 337 AAW / XAA model about (8) years old.  Never had any issues until this event.

You should be able to reach into the machine from the top and pull down the manual release for the lock.  CN5 should give you 120 VAC.  CN1 and CN2 are the connectors for the display PCB but unfortunately the fast track doesn't tell us what voltages to look for and where, so there's no way to know that at this point.  However, if you have AC voltage to the main PCB and you've already replaced the display PCB, barring a problem with the connections, you probably have a bad main PCB.
