The drain pump shorted out, a common problem on this model. Replaced that.

The short blew the ACST (a kind of a switch) on the main board, a common problem on this model. Replaced that.

The damage was more extensive on main board than I’d hoped, an additional relay is probably bad and an unknown number of other components. Replaced that.

The new main board fails to communicate with the inverter board, a common problem on this model.

I’m going to borrow a DMM to troubleshoot, but at this point I’m stuck between dumping more money into it, or returning both the new main board and the drain pump which have not seen action yet, and just buying a new washer.

Had a similar thing happen to our washer, ended up just buying a replacement board and stuffing that in.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn’t an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
