I have a Maytag stackable washer dryer model # MLE 2000 AYW serial # 17577001ww.
The washer stopped working about a month ago. From the online manual I determined that the problem was the timer motor and the washer main circuit board (part # 6 2727990). There was a burned out resistor on the control board. I replaced both the circuit board and the timer control. The washer ran perfectly for 4 washings. When I ran clothes thru the washer for the 5th time it stopped working again. I removed the washer control circuit board and there was another resistor burned out. I do not remember what resistor was burned out the first time but this time the resistor that is burned out is R52 on the left side of the resistor and UP17 on the right side of the resistor. I need to know what is causing this resistor to burn out so I can fix the problem. I was told by a Maytag technician that it was the door lock wax motor, however when I tried to order this part the representative told me that the wax motor was for earlier models and that my washer did not have the wax motor but has a mechanical door lock.
Can you tell me what part I need to order?
The typical cause of a burned resistor on these boards is the failure of the wax motors in the door lock assembly, so Maytag replaced that mechanism in later Neptune models. I do not know if your model has the replacement, but the service manual

and the tech bulletin both mention it

However, your resistors are not the ones usually affected, so you need to check your wiring and connections for shorts or problems which cause a power surge to the board and burn out the components.
Unfortunately, with this model that’s about the best we can do.
There are souces on the net which will rebuild the board for you if you want to go that route. Some report success, some do not.
