Christopher N Savage , MN June 06, 2016 Washer would sometimes not power on no error codes worked after unplugging We also noted 2 things: 1) to make it work, the longer it was unplugged, the longer it would work; 2) 'burned' smell near capacitors on the board. Easy replacement: one screw in the back, then the feet slide into position. The most difficult part is getting some of the wire harnesses unplugged because you're at bad angles. Just remember that every plug has a release you need to squeeze before it'll move.
