Updating the motor and board did not require changing the machine control. The serial number is important on the 3000's as the first ones (series 17? Or earlier) requires a kit that changes a neon indicator and adds a wire @ the board harness in addition to the new board. Machines after this series break had the change already and therefor only needed the board w/o extras. Of course, the boards differed between the 3000 & 4000 series due to the addition of the recirculate pump and stain cycle option on the console, among other things...
You cannot purchase a new old style motor or control board (barring eBay or someone with a dusty box on a shelf...). Order either and it will automatically sub to the upgrade kit. If you already have had the upgrade done, then you can get the NEW style motor or motor control individually to repair any issues from that point on. I converted both my MAH4000 and MAH7500 to the new style motor and control and have not looked back. Quieter, does a little bit better on speed control (IMHO) and the board is put together like it should have been in the first place. No ac to dc conversion, the heat sinks for the components could cool my turbodiesel, and the additional line filter. RCD |
