Restore precise cycle selection with this rotary encoder cycle switch. Mounted behind the control knob, it sends your chosen setting to the washer's control, resolving unresponsive or erratic knob behavior so the correct cycle and indicators engage.

• Translates knob rotation into signals the main control uses to select a wash cycle
• Helps ensure the selected cycle registers accurately on the user interface
• Wear or internal faults may cause an unresponsive or erratic cycle knob
• May also lead to incorrect indicator lights, intermittent selection, or a no-start condition

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Pull the knob straight off; open the console to access the encoder
• Release locking tabs and transfer wiring one connector at a time; align the keyed shaft
• Reassemble and verify the indicators respond to knob rotation before running a load

This factory washer is used in appliance assemblies to distribute load under a fastener and maintain a secure, accurate fit. Replace a missing or damaged washer to restore proper stack-up and reduce vibration, noise, or loosening.

• Helps keep bolts, screws, or nuts tight to minimize vibration and rattling
• Direct replacement when the original washer is worn, bent, cracked, or missing
• Typical signs include loose panels/brackets, recurring looseness after tightening, or new vibration after service

• Unplug the appliance; shut off water supply if working near hoses or valves
• Note the original hardware stack-up and reassemble in the same order
• Inspect mating surfaces and companion hardware; replace any damaged parts
• Tighten fasteners snugly per service guidance; avoid overtightening

The electronic control board is the appliance's main brain. It interprets inputs and directs power to components to run the selected functions or cycles, helping restore normal operation when the original board fails from age, heat, or electrical surges. What it does:

• Controls relays that power motors, valves, heaters, and fans as needed
• Advances timing and operating modes; manages diagnostics
• Common symptoms include unresponsive controls, won't start or advance, dead or flickering display, intermittent operation, or recurring error codes

• 1 electronic control board

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Use ESD precautions; handle the board by the edges and avoid touching circuitry
• Photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time; secure the board in its original mounting
• Restore power and run the model's diagnostic or calibration procedure per the tech sheet/service manual
