Realized my problem testing at the switch. 129.4 between red and yellow at the switch.

You should have power across the wht/blk and blu wires at the same time that you have power across the red and yel wires. Seems your only getting power to the start winding and none to the high speed run winding. You should not allow this for longer than a couple seconds. The start winding and capacitor are only designed for intermittent power during the second or two that it takes for the motor to get up to speed. Once up to speed, the start circuit is opened by the centrifugal motor switch. Sounds like you have a bad control board if no power across wht/blk and blu.

Any other way for me to confirm this? That is an expensive part so I may just have to get a new washer.

Check continuity between control board P7 (4 wires) and the motor connector and the blue wire on P9 and the motor connector.

Got continuity everywhere I should there. Sounds like I am on the look for a new washer. I really appreciate all of your time helping me with this Eric. Thank you!
