My LG front load washer wm2016cw will not power up. Checked the power sources (plug and circuit panel) and both working. Cleaned the drain filter on the bottom left section of the washer. Unit will still not power up. Changed the display board and control panel in May 2012....any idea what the problem is?

I had, well my wife had, this exact problem. Working one moment not the next. Here are the steps.
1. Troubleshoot with LG. It probably will not work.
2. Remove screws at rear of washer that hold the top on. These are the screws in the plastic brackets.
3. Remove the plastic brackets and both screws.
4. Slide the top cover toward the back and lift it off.
5. Remove the cover of the control module and look at the wire entering it.
6. You may find it is frayed or cut from the vibration of spin cycle.
You need part F130 to replace this found here parts for LG WM2016CW - AppliancePartsPros.com

I checked this by reconnecting the wires and it worked right off.
A little electrical tape till the good folks at appliancepartspros get it in the mail

DO NOT BUY A NEW BOARD without checking this.
