Common washer repair parts you may need
Replacing one of these washer parts may fix your problem.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
A washer that has no power may be experiencing issues with its electronic control board. Responsible for powering up the washer and managing essential functions, a malfunctioning control board can result in a lack of power to the washer. In some cases, a defective board may emit a burning smell.
User Interface Control Replacement
A defective user interface control might stop responding, preventing you from adjusting wash cycle settings or powering the washer on and off. Sometimes, only a few buttons or dials on the interface are affected, but in other instances, the entire interface becomes unresponsive. Additionally, cycle status indicators, such as the remaining time, may not display correctly on a faulty user interface. Stuck control keys or buttons on the interface can also cause the washer to behave unpredictably, like starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle. Error codes may accompany these issues.
Motor Replacement
A faulty washer motor can manifest a variety of symptoms, including the inability to properly move the spin basket or agitator. The motor may struggle to complete the spin or wash cycle, resulting in clothes being inadequately rinsed or left soaking wet at the end of a cycle. Over time, the motor may overheat, completely inhibiting movement of the spin basket. Additionally, there may be a burnt smell or visible damage to the motor, and the washer may exhibit signs of complete power failure, rendering it inoperable.

How is the no power problem solved?
Fixing most no power problems usually involves replacing the electronic control board, user interface control or motor. However, other problems could exist, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.
