We have to unplug it to stop it from beeping. Cuts out midcycle and flashes something like "un" "e" I think.

We tried putting in smaller loads but that doesn't seem to matter. It will run fine for several loads and then we have the load that we keep resetting and resetting. Found the spin and drain setting so at least we can finish without repeating another wash cycle.

I assume there there is a short and the unit thinks we are moving (resetting) the control knobs or buttons. Is it the entire control unit or just one switch on it?

right now it is plugged in and it is staying off. Earlier today it keep beeping until I had to unplug it for relieve. I will pay attention to more details now that I found this post.

Thanks inadvance,
Phil

Sadly the brain transplant did not solve the problem. I am sure an onsite technician would have performed the same task so I am no worse off. There must be failed part that causes the electricity to move. I plugged the machine into another outlet to rule out noise on the electric supply line, still beeps but at least I can unplug it easily when not in use. I'll try to unplug each set of wires one by from the control panel and try to isolate the shorted component

I disconnected each wire and found three wires that caused the unit to go dark and stay dark even if the unit was plugged and unplugged. I also started the unit and found the same three caused the unit to stop running.

When the unit is doing it "possessed" thing, I noticed that the door lock would lock and unlock several times. Perhaps it is a failed door sensor or something related to the door lock. What I did note that if left plugged in that the unit picks up at the same spot as it stops. Cycles will take hours to run as it stops and restarts but it doesn't go back to the beginning.

I didn't recieve a note telling me you responded hence the long delay. I getting tired of going to my in-laws to do laundry
