Customer Questions and Answers for Main Control Board (Top-Load Washer) by Ge

This main control board is the washer's central electronic brain, coordinating cycles, motor and valve operation, and safety checks. Replacing a failed board can restore normal starts, fills, agitation/spin, and reliable cycle completion.

• Manages cycle timing and power to the drive motor, drain pump, and water inlet valves
• Monitors inputs from the lid lock and other sensors for safe, accurate operation
• Interfaces with the user controls to run the selected wash program
• Typical failure symptoms: won't start or power up; no fill/agitate/spin/drain; stops mid-cycle; error codes or unresponsive controls

• Disconnect power before servicing and handle the board with ESD protection
• Access the control at the top/rear area, transfer connectors one at a time to the same positions, and secure the board in the original mounting
• After installation, restore power and run the unit's diagnostic/service mode to verify operation; some models may require a configuration/personality step per the tech sheet
