yeah, that balance ring is sealed, never to be opened.....but a good cleaning will help....
and yes, that foaming bleach cleaner works wonders...…I never fully understand how machines can get so filthy and cruddy..... also using that, or Purple Cleaner, sprayed down between the tubs will help remove most of the gunk..... if you have a refrigerator coil brush to slide down in between the tubs, that will help scrub some of it away..... I have a feeling though, your going to need another set of boards to get that working... keep us posted.... | ||

Thanks, Dadoes. We were not sure about those buttons interfering or not. Good to know. By reseating the ribbon cables, do you mean to simply unplug and replug? Thank you for your reply. | ||

Yes ... unplug, replug. It apparently worked before your cleaning disassembly so maybe a connection got disturbed/loosened. The two interlock switches ground the motor for exposure safety when the front panel or bottom panel is removed. It's not grounded during normal operation. As explained in the service manual, page 14. :-) Diagnosing electronics problems can be tricky. Sometimes it's more a matter of changing a suspect part. The touchpanel went bad on my machine a couple years ago. I tried to test it via the key matrix details in the service manual, and also tested a spare panel for comparison. Neither gave any good readings but I swapped in the spare panel and it worked. | ||

first....you usually want to replace boards in pairs....or at least that has been my history with them....if theres a virus, it will transfer from one to the next...
never has really been an issue using one board from one machine to the next.....just if your familiar with one type of program from a cycle, the new board may change things a bit... | ||

Your machine has the FLD pressure switch? Or no? Seems the difference between utilizing FLD and not is the revised machine control board has a jumper across the contacts at P17-1 and P17-3 where the FLD would connect. I have three spare boards. All are Rev B and do not have a jumper across P17-1 and P17-3. Pic 1 is of a board that is jumpered (no FLD support). Pic 2 is one of my boards that is not jumpered (FLD supported). Perhaps a revised board without FLD support reasonably should work in a machine with a FLD switch since the FLD switch can't be connected to a revised board ... just leave the FLD disconnected. Contrary, a board that expects a signal from the FLD switch reasonably would not work in a machine without a physical FLD switch since P17 isn't jumpered on said board and there's no FLD in the machine to connect there. I don't have direct experience with either situation. | ||
