Description

• Controls and coordinates operations, including timing, power routing, and safety interlocks
• Interprets keypad/knob inputs and sensor feedback to start, stop, and adjust cycles
• Drives relays to power motors, valves, heaters, and other loads
• Displays status or fault codes when a failure is detected
• Common symptoms: unresponsive controls, blank/flickering display, won't start or stops mid-cycle, recurring control-related error codes

What's included:

• 1 electronic control board

Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; verify no voltage present
• Use ESD protection; handle the board by its edges to avoid static damage
• Photograph/label all connectors and transfer wires one at a time to the new board
• Secure the board, then follow the model's tech sheet for any required setup/diagnostics and test operation
