(Sorry for the multiple posts, I don't see a way to edit.) The real mystery is that this washing machine has been plugged into that outlet for years with no issues.

What? No.

Yep had several calls where they want you to mop up after they can't fix it or they screwed something up. I stopped doing it. Call me first or don't call me at all. Also get the calls wanting free rep

Most likely...

Recent electrical work done in the home (for something else)...led to an error/mistake at the whole house fusebox/circuit breaker.

I had moved the washer away from the wall and thus had to plug it into a different outlet from the usual one. So I was testing the latter outlet

Oh the importance of minor details...

Most places don’t allow returns on electronic controls, especially fried ones...

Sometimes it truly is cheaper to hire a professional technician. ?

Also get the calls wanting free repair advice on the phone. Tell them that I would have to look at it and that is going to cost a service fee.
