I've read and re-read every post even remotely related to this problem in this & similar model #s, but i've hit a road block as some one who isn't very knowledgeable about things mechanical, i was hoping for some guidance in my quest for the holy grail... that top secret hidden-treasure trouble shooting guide conveniently located near the main control panel THAT I CAN'T FIND (cmon, please don't laugh). found lots of diagrams on line but none that lead me to the hidden control panel. I've got it disassembled to the point where it SEEMS the circuit panel should be visible soon ....

The problem i'm trying to solve is that the machine won't tumble. It doesn't display an error code, it fills, drains some of the water from tub, and sounds like it's running... not a stressed sound like it's TRYING to do something it can', or a stuck sound, no squealing belts, just the sound of the motor (?) quietly running - just no action....

I suspect power surges have reeked havoc with the control panel (a few small appliances, 3 power strips, 2 surge protectors and two laptop harddrives bit the dust last month... and i'm moving out of this awful house asap)

The Owner's Manual says "check fuse or reset circuit breaker" is there a fuse on the control panel i should look for once i get there? tried all the other not very useful suggestions.

ANYBODY out there who might be able to get me to the circuit board ? (of course i probably won't have any idea what to do even with the secret trouble shooting guide, but i wanted to try before calling in a repairman i can't afford right now
