The motor runs but the drum wont move. Door locks like its supposed to. I did the bearings and belt back in 2013 and its been running fine until today. Is this the motor control board problem or something else? This thing has run 8-10 loads a week since 2001 without a hitch, started sounding like a jet in 2013 so I did the bearings, but other than that, its run like a champ. Should I count my blessings & get a new unit or is there an easy fix ?

Putting money into this model is just not a good idea. But if you do want to take a crack at it, and don't have the service manual here is the link. http://applianceassistan...asher_service_manual.pdf Note that your model is discussed at the back, even though it is not mentioned in the table of contents. And yes, that is Mr. Carlson on the cover.
