Washer did not finish cyle, spin light lite, door still locked. Turned dial to stop, waited and door unlocked. Closed door, selected normal wash, filled with water and just sat there doing nothing. Turned dial to spin, water pumped out, but wouldn't spin. Took back panel off and belt is okay. I was told it could be the main control board #8183136 or the Motor Invertor board #8183137. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi,

I would suspect the control board for the motor. I replace a lot of them.

ApplianceJunk,

I get an Error Code "E5E". Completed Test 11, the manual says, "replace the control board".

Do I replace the "Motor Control Board", or the "Electrical Control Board"?

Thanks,

The motor control board is what I would suspect also. It could also be your motor. You would need to be able to test them both. Look for a tech sheet inside the unit on the right or left side taped in a bag or on the rear out side of unit, and follow testing instructions for both the motor and motor control board.

You could also put it into a diagnostic mode test and test to see if there are any error codes or if control board functions properly.

These parts can be expensive so try to narrow it down to also narrow down your cost....

good luck
