- Incorrect Functionality: If specific cycles or functions are not working, re-verify all wire harness connections to the control board, ensuring they match the original configuration.
- Intermittent Issues: Loose connections or environmental factors (like excessive humidity) can cause intermittent problems. Re-inspect all connections and ensure the environment is suitable.
