After running a load, the power will cut off and not turn back on. Nothing displays on the front panel at all. There is power from the outlet There is 120V coming into the noise filter There is 120V coming out of the noise filter There is NOT an LED lit on the main power board. After checking around, plugging/unplugging it. The outlet will spark while trying to plug in the cord. After this spark the washer will work as normal for 1 cycle only. THen back to the same characteristics. How do I know if the problem is with the Main PCB or the Display PCB?

The electrical plugs need the tab pushed IN when disconnecting them. Unfortunately, i guessed wring and started w changing the display board first. Nothing changed. Replacing both myself was still cheaper than a service call from a local shop.

I was hoping for a code reset short cut as the install of the washer/dryer is stacked and in a tight space (read ... very difficult to move). Of course with the washer on the bottom! Not sure how to tackle this one :-( I appreciate the response and all the best. Regards, Al
