Possible Causes

Safety first: Unplug the washer before working on electrical components.

Check grounding: Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and the washer’s ground connection is intact.
Inspect harnesses: Look for damaged wires that could be shorting to the cabinet or each other.
Board inspection: Examine the main control for bulging capacitors or burnt areas.
Replace control board: If no external shorts are found, the main control’s regulator circuit is likely faulty and the board should be replaced by a technician.
