HELP!! I have a WFW9200SQ00 and it's DEAD! Nothing comes on except the lock button. When the power button is pressed, I hear three chimes.

I bought a control electic board (8183261), replaced it and still the same.

Try running it thru diagnositc first, see if you get any error codes.

Execute this procedure with an empty drum. All of the steps
below must be done in sequence in order to reach the
Diagnostic test. This executes the automatic test only.

1.

Close the door.

2.

Push power.

3.

Select the “Drain and Spin” program.

4.

Deselect the rinse option (for Kenmore only).

5.

Select “No spin”.

6.

Push “Prewash” option four times within five seconds. If
Prewash is not present on this model, press “Extra Rinse”
option four times within five seconds.

7.

The automated test program is started (not possible to
skip steps).

8. To cancel the test program press the “Stop” button.

Post your results

There are no lights so I can not even get into the diagnotic test you posted. Only button works is the lock and the power buttom gives three beeps. no other buttons work.

Have your tried unplugging the machine to see if the control board will function again?

[tomlao]

Yes. Switch the breaker as well. is it true that electronics has 2yrs warrantee?

[libertyappl]

Depending on where you bought the control board, it should have a 90 day warranty from where purchased(at least we get a 90 warranty as a business)

Thanks for all your posting. Do you know the part number for the cpu board on the left side of the machine?

[libertyappl]

Behind the control panel?

[tomlao]

yes. it's a combo board in a "T" shape. You'll see it when you open the top panel. From the front, it's on the right side. Sorry, I'd said left earlier.

That is the main microcomputer, machine control part number AP3968028, $218.51, from this site.
