How to replace Washer Electronic Control Board. Bought the control panel part suggested by these pros and it worked like a charm. Super easy to install; like clicking a part into a computer after removing 5 screws. The painful part was the cost, $165. Less than a new washer. Now I wonder if I should unplug the washer when not in use, or install a surge protector to prevent in the future. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
