My problem is.. the washer display reads 7 and extended spin is lit up and the soft signal is lit up and that is all it will do, no buttons will respond. I think I replaced the motor control board a year or two ago. It worked fine up till now.

Thanks for any help !

Well, the likely problem is with the machine control unit, this part here,

Part number: AP3837551



and note the comments on the part. Since it is expensive, try to put the machine in test mode and try to test the board. Here is a service manual which will show you how.

Thank you so much for your time ! The control buttons will not respond to anything . So I can't do any key pad tests . If I press cancel the display blinks off and comes right back on 7.... I do think it is the control board.

Again thank you so much !

I agree, but you can see the problem with microprocessor controls that are designed to detect problems. What happens when the microprocesor goes out?

I am afraid you will have to purchase the part to determine if it is bad.
