Operating Principles
The control board is the central processing unit of your washer, managing all functions from cycle selection to motor operation and water levels. Once installed, it operates seamlessly with your washer's existing components.
- Cycle Control: The board interprets user selections from the control panel and executes the corresponding wash, rinse, and spin cycles.
- Sensor Integration: It receives input from various sensors (e.g., water level, temperature, door lock) to ensure proper and safe operation.
- Component Activation: The board sends signals to activate components such as the water inlet valves, drain pump, and drive motor at the appropriate times.
No specific user interaction with the board itself is required after installation; its operation is integrated into the washer's normal functions.
Maintenance
The CoreCentric Remanufactured Washer Control Board is designed for long-term reliability and typically requires no routine maintenance. However, general appliance care can help prolong the life of all components, including the control board.
- Keep Dry: Ensure the area around the control board remains dry. Moisture can damage electronic components.
- Clean Vents: If your washer has ventilation openings near the control panel, keep them clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.
- Power Surges: Consider using a surge protector for your appliance to protect sensitive electronics from power fluctuations.
Troubleshooting
If your washer is experiencing issues after replacing the control board, consider the following common troubleshooting steps. Always disconnect power before inspecting internal components.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Washer does not power on. | Loose power connection to the board; faulty power outlet; tripped circuit breaker. | Check all wire connections to the board. Verify power to the outlet. Reset the circuit breaker. |
| Specific functions (e.g., filling, spinning) not working. | Incorrect wiring connection; faulty component connected to the board. | Review wiring connections using your reference photos. Test individual components (e.g., water valve, motor) if possible. |
| Error codes displayed. | Sensor malfunction; communication error; specific component failure. | Consult your washer's service manual for the meaning of specific error codes and recommended troubleshooting steps. |
| Intermittent operation. | Loose connections; environmental factors (e.g., humidity). | Ensure all connections are firmly seated. Ensure the washer is in a dry environment. |
