4. Installation and Replacement Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to replace the washer control board:
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the washing machine from the wall outlet.
- Remove Cycle Selector Knob: Gently pull the cycle selector knob directly off the control board shaft.
- Open Control Panel: Use a putty knife or spatula to compress the two control panel holding clips located at the front of the panel. Carefully disengage the control panel and lay it flat on top of the machine, exposing the control board.
- Disconnect Wires from Old Board: Begin disconnecting the wire harnesses from the old control board. When disconnecting, always grasp the plastic connector block itself, not the wires, to prevent damage. Each connector is uniquely shaped, ensuring it can only be reconnected to its correct port.
- Remove Holding Screws: Locate and remove the two holding screws that secure the control board to the panel.

- Secure New Control Board: Reinstall the two holding screws to secure the new control board.
- Reconnect Wires: Reconnect all wire harnesses to the new control board. Ensure each connector is pushed firmly and completely into its corresponding port to establish a secure connection.
- Close Control Panel: Carefully lift the control panel and align the back tabs into their slots on the washer frame. Push down firmly until the panel clicks into place, securing it.
- Reinstall Cycle Selector Knob: Push the cycle selector knob back onto its shaft until it is fully seated.
- Reconnect Power: Plug the washing machine back into the wall outlet.
