How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP5653804 / W10427967 Electronic Control Board

I replaced the Electronic Control Board and the Motor Control Board. 

The F06/F02 Error Code indicated that there was a communication problem between the Electronic Control Board and the Motor Control Board. Because the code did not identify which board was most likely the culprit, I ordered both. Because the case for the Motor Control Board showed evidence of small burn marks (although none appeared on the board itself), I replaced that board first and that completely solved the problem. There was no need to replace the Electronic Control Board. 

After looking at some of the write-ups on Appliance Parts Pros, I narrowed the problem down to three possible areas. I didn't want to buy all three parts, so I overthought the problem until I finally took the top off the washer to see if I could get a closer look at anything obvious. When I turned the top over to set it on the dryer, I spotted a small book taped to the inside of the top. It was a service tech's manual with error codes and troubleshooting procedures. I looked through the codes and found E1F1 and it said that the problem was in the Electronic Control Board. I ordered one, and after it arrived, I installed it and the machine works great. The biggest issue I had was that it took almost 2 months to get the part. Lots of Laundry Mat visits. Also, I highly recommend that before you remove the old part, take several photos on your cell phone of the wiring; that helped a lot. 

This part was perfect and fixed my issue quickly. The video attached to this part made the job super easy. Honestly remembering where the wires went was the hardest part of it 

Ordered the part and watched your video but ended up unplugging them all and plugging them back in 

After a bit of research it was clear that I needed to replace the main control board. I ordered one from AppliancePartsPros.com with overnight shipping and tax for less than $250. Other sources wanted $300+ just for the part. I watched your video. The repair took about 30 minutes and saved me thousands on a new washer. Everything works like new! 

Replaced the Electronic Control Board. 

Replaced Control Board. Very simple Job took 20 minutes. Saved me a lot of money. 

Ordered and overnighted a new Electronic Control Board. Ensure you watch the video just because the unit is not screwed-mounted but has tabs and slots cut into the sheet metal. Prying off would bend up the sheet metal. The only issue is AppliancePartsPros.com doesn't accept the core return of $60 other sites offered but I wanted/needed the part so I paid the extra and kept the core. 

First, I described symptoms to APP in the question section of the website. First diagnosis and answer were said to be the User Interface Board #W10455538 (which was out of stock, no longer manufactured). I found that part eventually at another site and installed. Did not solve the issue and same symptoms. Luckily, I was able to return that part. Recontacted APP and advised them of this and asked what the next thing might be to try. The response was the Main Control Board #W10427967 which was in stock. I made the purchase and, using the very helpful APP video, I installed the part. As of this writing and about 10 loads, the washer has worked properly each time. Hopefully the issue is now resolved. APP was very responsive and the videos they produce are very helpful.
