Electrolux EWF 1486 HDW washing machine stopped working, what to do?
first test outlet to mke sure ur getting full voltage
Push start switch may need to be tested with a multi meter for continuity OHMS should show a closed circuit when pushed in or turned on.
The start switch on some top load washers is often part of the timer and is activated by pulling out on the timer knob. Although not normally available as a separate part, the switch can be tested for continuity with a multi-meter. You will need to remove power from the appliance and then locate the correct timer contacts as noted on the wiring diagram. On some electronic controlled models, the start switch is a momentary contact type switch located on the control console. You can test this switch for continuity with a multi-meter when the push button is held in
Overheating
If you've run several loads, one after another, without any problem but suddenly find your washing machine refuses to start, overheating could be the cause. The simple way to discover whether this is the problem is to give the machine ample time to cool down, say for a couple of hours, and then try it again. If it works fine, overheating has been the problem and you may have a motor with bad windings.
By the way my advice is free cuz God is good!
All washing machines use a motor that is responsible for spinning and agitating during the cleaning cycle. Many top load brands use a reversing motor which means the motor spins in one direction for agitating and another for spinning and draining. If the motor does not start, but makes a humming or buzzing noise then it may be defective. To verify if the motor is at fault, remove the drive and /or pump belts and then try to start the motor again. On direct drive models, you will have to disengage the pump and the direct drive coupling to the transmission. If the motor starts, then the problem is with the transmission or the pump and can be further diagnosed by reconnecting each one individually. If the motor does not start or continues to hum or buzz, then it will need to be replaced
Lastly CONTROL BOARD
If the control board does not provide the proper voltage to the drive motor, fill valve, drain motor or door lock then the washer may not start. The main control board on most washers is complicated and difficult to diagnose without proper test equipment and procedures. You can visually inspect the control for signs of electrical arcing or burned or damaged components on the board. You should use caution when replacing a control board as sometimes the burned components are caused by external component failures.

Electrolux washer model EWFLW65F error code e9f - Parts Replaced
Sounds like you did great job of following the service manual and advice for parts suppliers, but often, it is service tech knowledge that is useful. For instance they will look at a board and say "yes, this board fits most of them, but not yours", or they say "these boards are made on Taiwan for 5 bucks each and 8/10 don't work, I keep 20 in the van". also these days, techs carry a laptop computer and connect to a Service Port, like the OBD2 port on a car. The machine tells them the issue.
Your choice, Service Call or Shiny New Machine. You can't do any more than you have done.
you have obviously seen this, but did you check the connection to the Inverter board on the motor and the soldered joints behind the connection? Different model, same code.

Electrolux washing machine drum not turning. Door will not unlock.
The most likely cause is a broken drive belt. You don't say if it is a front or top loader. For a top loader, pull the machine out, and drop the drain hose into a bucket to empty the machine. Tilt the machine against the wall. Have someone steady it and look underneath. You should see the motor and belt, although some are direct drive.
For a front loader, the belt is accessed from the rear of the machine.
