Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I find the correct replacement main control board for my washer?
Locate the model and serial number of your washer. This is usually found on a sticker located inside the door or on the back of the machine. Use this information to search for the correct replacement part online or at an appliance parts store.
•What is the voltage rating of the capacitors on the main control board, and where can I buy replacements?
The voltage and capacitance values are printed directly on the capacitors. Typical values for the power supply section are 25V or 35V. You can purchase replacement capacitors from electronics suppliers like Digi-Key or Mouser.
•What tools do I need to safely discharge the capacitors on the main control board before handling it?
While unplugging the appliance will eventually discharge the capacitors, it is best practice to use a resistor (e.g., 1k Ohm, 5W) to slowly discharge them. Connect the resistor across the capacitor terminals, observing proper polarity, for several minutes before handling the board.
