I replaced the original control board with a Rev A...washer runs fine. Then I scheduled service with Whirlpool to replace the control board with the latest Rev B.

Yup! The faulty control board causes a wide range of issues...over a few months ... before the continuous draining issue. At that point, the washer has to be UNPLUGGED to stop. Plug it back in and it continues to drain.

THANK YOU! (I don't see how over-posting this issue does any harm. The public needs to know that Whirlpool has faulty control boards in their home appliances!)

Yes, I found a replacement control board online... installed it myself and washer works fine. However, there's been a 2nd revision to the control board (Rev B) and the control boards sold online are Rev A. The visually noticeable difference between circuit boards the original board and Rev A is...

so ...not only do these appliances have failures with bearings and suspension rods - but the main control circuit board has been revised twice!

Revision A of the control board is available online. BUT there's a Revision B!

yes it's a safety issue! call Whirlpool and say "appliance won't stop draining cycle, has to be unplugged to stop"

I ordered a new control board online and installed it myself...washer works fine. However Whirlpool still owes me an updated (Rev B) control board installation. Technician said control boards are on backorder - indefinitely!
