How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP6892592 / 137005000NH Control

For this washing machine the error is most frequently the Washer Door Lock Assembly (part number 131763202 ), and I had already replaced this part three years ago. Since the LEDs and beeping sounds were going crazy with no sensible or recognizable pattern I could not troubleshoot according to the established procedure in the manual. So I ordered another door lock assembly without attempting to troubleshoot further. Turned out to be a waste as it was not the door lock assembly. Surfing your web site and looking at some of the other peoples experiences I noticed one where the person had a similar problem with the LEDs and beeping sounds flashing and sounding off randomly. He said that the controller board (part number 137005000), was what finally fixed his washer. IMPORTANT: - Be extremely careful to make notice of the positions of the front panel knobs before removing the controller board from the back of the front panel. Also be very careful when holding the front panel after removing the controller board from it as the small front panel push button switches and their associated springs will go flying. 

Replaced control board after living with random beeps and indicator lights for three years. We even used an extension cord to make it easier to unplug the washer when the noises and lights would start. So far we have gone four days with no issues. We will have saved over $700 if we can avoid buying a new one. 

On the old control board I got an error code of E41. When I replaced the control board I got E21. The first problem was that I did not know that the top was supposed to slide backwards to allow access to the screws that hold the control panel. It turns out that the selector knob was out of sync with the control panel. It took a great deal of maneuvering. I finally figured to rotate the knob through its 16 positions while plugged in until it got to the place where it lit up only the spin cycle LED which is position #1 for the knob. Then I removed the knob stem from the control board and aligned it and reinserted (somewhat against its will) it so that the knob would coordinate with the board. I must've gone back and forth uninstalling and reinstalling 20 times. And I think I dropped the knobs and springs at least 5 times! To do it again I think it would take about 15 minutes. I still don't know why it showed an E21. 

Not getting a full code (only 9 with ? for second) i started looking on the net for answers. I found your site and checked your wealth of information, it all pointed to the main control panel. Still not completely sure i decided to take a chance and order the part after reading your return policy. Looked like all i had to lose was some time. I ordered the part on Sunday June 6th and received the part on Wednesday June 9th using the standard shipping - saving money and still getting the part quick. The part was waiting at my door when i got home from work so i went directly to the machine, put the new part in and plugged it up to see if this was the fix before putting it all back together. It went back to normal operation!!! Thanks for your nice easy to use site. Really like the part check to see if it is right for your model, some don't have this feature. 

The washer was part of a stackable unit, so most of the time and work was getting the gas dryer off of the washer. Once screws were loosened, we lifted it off and placed it on a stool so we did not have to lift it from the floor again. Once the top of the washer was opened, removing the old control board was quite simple and straightforward. The wiring was attached to the back of the old board using plug in cable wraps, so we broke the old board open, squeezed the ties out using needle nosed pliers and they attached easily to the new board. Reassembly was simply reversing the whole process. 

Checked door switch with OHM meter and junmped switch with wire. Checked pressure switch and checked detergent drawer. Replaced main control board. After removing front panel move to a secure location BEFORE removing board from front panel. Small springs plastic lights could be lost. Mark your wires. Last din plug on end is NOT used. 

Ordered the control board. Not exactly an "easy" repair, it took about an hour. Unplug the machine and figure out how to get the top off. Comes off by removing two screws in the back and lift off. Then get the front panel off. Managed to turn it upside down and the button and springs fell off- into the washer. Now I had to figure out how to get the back off! Fish around and found all the parts. Hint - do not work on the panel over the washer! Disconnected all the cables and re installed them. Re installed the buttons and springs. Small parts with big fingers- not easy - but I got it done. put it all back together and it didn't work! Had the selector knob in the wrong position. Hint- Install the selector knob and be sure it is in the right position before installing the panel back. Finally done and works perfect. Wifey happy- washer running. Sure an expensive part for a stupid washing machine...oh well. Thanks to all who wrote before about the installation. It helped me. 

Per info I found on this site, I replaced the main control board. Ordered the part on Monday and had the washer working the following evening! Fantastic. 

I ordered a control panel and replaced it. The only difficulty was removing the panel enclosure and matching up the holes for the control panel diagnostic display. The Appliance parts pros diagnosed the problem accurately and quickly. 

I ordered a new control panel (as seen in the picture above) and replaced it.
