Washer will not start - that is there must be relay that engages to start washer and it is not working. If I hold the start button in continuously it runs ? Please advise - think main circuit board is bad - Do U know where I can get a schematic of this board ? Looks like Q3 on this board is burnt. Thanks, John
Ajshoe,
I'm not familiar with this particular model but I will tell you this:
The schematics for these circuit boards are generally not published. The reason is that the average repair guy will not want to fix them and probably lacks the expertise. Q means transistor. Transistors are 'relays' after a fashion. If you can see a number, you may be able to access a replacement. Otherwise, I would change the board. The fact that the washer will start sounds like the relay that the board controls is operating properly.
You may be able to find a board renewal/exchange online for less than a whole new one. Be sure to unplug the machine and ground yourself when handling the board.

Board replacement is out of the question - If an amateur or repairman can't fix these boards - this appliance is junk. This board costs $150 or more. When a company designs an inferior product - the least they can do is supply the schematic so customers can repair there problem. Thanks
