Description
This electronic control board manages the appliance's functions and user interface, replacing a failed or faulty main control to restore normal operation and responsive controls. It directs cycles, timers, and electronic features for reliable performance. What it does:
- Receives input from the console and sensors, then sends signals to components to run selected cycles.
- Replaces a board that causes unresponsive controls, incorrect or no cycles, or intermittent operation.
- Can resolve issues with error codes or erratic behavior tied to the main control electronics.
- Works as the central logic module that coordinates timed events and electronic features.
What's included:
- One electronic control board (main control) — only the board is included.
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or damage to the board.
- Handle the board by edges and avoid touching components; use anti-static precautions where possible.
- Double-check connector locations and wire routing before reassembly; take photos.
- If problems persist after replacement, verify sensors, wiring harnesses, and grounds before replacing additional parts.
