Neil September 26, 2011 for Model Number 3000sries mhwe300vw12 can part # 8183196 be replaced from the front of the washer? If so what is the procedure.
1 Answer Neil, Yes, you can change the motor control assembly from the front of the washing machine. First, remove power to the washer. Remove the lower front access panel(two screws along the bottom of the access panel) and release and slide the panel down and out to remove. You'll find the assembly mounted to the base of the washer in the left hand front quadrant of the cabinet, remove the wiring harness, release the mounting tabs on the bottom and lift and slide the assembly out. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...

1 Answer Dan, Your motor control board is located inside the lower left side bottom of the cabinet WP8183196 . Here's the procedure : "1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Turn off the water supply to the washer. 3. Pull the washer away from the wall. 4. Remove the four plastic shipping bolt hole covers. To remove a cover, lift the rounded end to unhook the locking tab from the slot in the chassis, and slide thecover off the rear panel. 5. Remove the hex-head screws from the rear panel. 6. Pull the bottom of the rear panel out, and slide it down so the top edge is out from behind the lip of the upper panel, and remove the rear panel. 7. Pull the hose out of the holders on top ofthe motor control unit. 8. Remove the wire ties from the cover. 9. Use a flat-blade screwdriver, and pry the locking tab up on the bottom of the motor control unit to release it, then slide the unit forward to release the four tabs from the keyhole slots, and lift the motor controlunit from the washer. 10. Disconnect the four wire connectors from the motor control unit and remove the unit." Good Luck, and Thanks Read More...

Dave March 16, 2011 for Model Number 11049962603 Error code f-11 motor ohms out correct per tech sheet, and all plugs from mcu to control were taken off and back on. Machine would not go all the way into service mode. It would jump to f-11 saying mcu board. Ever here the problem being in the contol board for an f-11 code? Seeing it did not allow me to go past the fill mode in self test mode?
1 Answer Hello Dave. You will need to test and see if the MCU is sending power to the motor. If the board is bad, it will read F11. The MCU communicates with the control board. Hope this helps. Read More...
