LG Washer -WM2450HRA - have to unplug before use

[brk]

After the washer sits for a while, it requires unplugging/replugging to get it to turn on again.

It has done this one or twice over the many years we have had it.  Now it is every time.

Searching around, it appears that the main computer board is the most likely suspect.  I've also read that the noise filter could be the cause, but that appears to only have windings so I'm not sure if that would resolve by a power cycle.  Anyway, the main board is no longer available.  Anywhere.  Well, there is one on eBay that says "tested", but with an intermittent problem I'm not sure it's worth the investement?

Any suggestions?  Or do I start shopping for a new set?

Try spinning the drum to boot it up.

 Usually NOT the mainboard in my experience. It is the front board or the Uuse interface UI

there is a bullitin from lg out on the internets, with test procedure,  but cant find it just now

Main Board 99.9% of the time.

Display Boards rarely fail (12vdc)...powered by Main Board.

Some symptoms...

Spark occurs at receptacle when plugged.

Ozone odor
