The hoses and filters are clean, it will spin real slow on spin mode , but acts like it is in wash. Rotates slow back and forth...will NOT spin out like it should.. I was told to look into getting a new control panel and it is priced at $418.31 !!!!!!!!!!!!! :confused: If anyone has a better / cheaper idea of a diognosis for this PLEASE tell me. I will not buy this part, the washer will end up as scrap, and I'll need to find a used washer! THANKS!!

The service manual is of limited help, basically a "replace the board and see if that fixes it" procedure. Here is the service manual. See if you can put the machine into diagnosis mode and also check key components like the door switch but I am afraid the likely solution will be a control board replacement. I agree that you should replace it if you cannot find an inexpensive fix. I strongly recommend a no frills, top loading machine with no microoprocessor controls, for reasons you are now familiar with. https://secured.whirlpoo...9b84/$FILE/WPWASHER1.pdf

I will look through the manual and try to get it into diognose mode ...just to be sure, but I'm guessing that you helped in my decision....yes, a no frills top loader! *This one came with my little mobile home. I would have never purchased it myself!!* *Thanks again and I'll fill you in if a miricle happens (cheap part) Ha Ha... no such luck?*
