This washer will not spin, no lock light. I replaced the wax motor with no result. I then found that r11 on the control board was burnt. I need to know the value of this resistor so I can replace it. I had rather replace a ten cent resistor then have to spend $170 for a new board.

I found that the resistor was a base bias resistor for the transistor that operates a small relay on the control board. The transister was open, the relay had an internal short. I then mounted a SPST switch next to the timer knob to operate the wax moter manually. So as long as I remember to turn the switch on when I load the washer, the door will lock and the mechine will spin. Much better then paying $170 out of my social security.
