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.
Dang man. Yeah, I’m only $60 deep for a new starter motor but it looks like something electrical is just stopping it. A new control board is $500+ which I could buy a new generator for. And that might not even be the issue. So I just gotta hope I can find what’s wrong and hot wire whatever it needs because its essentially scrap if I don’t. It is kinda nice though because I increasingly have nothing to lose so it might get to the point of being dangerously hot wired but at least it runs.
