I’ve tried unplugging for awhile & that sometimes will allow me a normal cycle to run. Other times the lights come on, no error code, & nothing will respond. Othertimes it won’t even light up. I’ve removed the control board as described in another post, but I don’t see anything wrong anywhere. Everything looks normal, not burnt or discolored.
User Control and Display Board If the washer won’t start, the user control and display board may be defective. Check for power to the washer first. Timer If the washer won’t start the timer might be defective. This part is often misdiagnosed, check other components before replacing this timer. Line Fuse If the washer won’t start the line fuse might have blown. Thermal Fuse If the washer won’t start the thermal fuse may have blown. It can be tested for continuity. Watch our fuse testing video for more information. Line Fuse and Holder If the washer won’t start the line fuse might have blown, or the line fuse holder might be damaged and need to be replaced. Main Control Board If the washer won’t start the main control board might be defective. This is not common. Check other parts and causes first. Door or Lid Latch Assembly If the washer won’t start the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their design. Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly If the washer won’t start the door lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their design. Other Causes and Conditions Incoming Power Problem If the washer won’t start check to see if there is power at the electrical outlet which the washer is plugged into. Plug a lamp or radio into the outlet to check it. If the outlet is dead, check the circuit breakers or fuses for the home. Power Cord If the washer won’t start, check to be sure there is power to the electrical outlet for the home. If that is OK, the power cord itself might be defective. This is rare. You can check the power cord with an Ohm meter for continuity.
