Almost brand new Whirlpool washer with bad control board

I'll be in my grave before I buy any washer that's got electronics in it.
That's because my 1985 Maytag will probably still be churning my dirty underwear.

One that switches on the drain motor might just have a welded contact in a relay. If you ohm it out and it's stuck, it's usually not a really tough job to find a replacement on Amazon for a few bucks and replace it. Then you'll have a spare for a non-warranty fix down the road.

Are you sure?

And I bet a plastic tub GE could clean better than this!

I've come across relays that have stuck in the ON position on many things - stereo amps, etc.
The contacts weld together and in some cases can be burnished.
But the ratings of relays must be high enough in order to survive the current going though them, along with the return springs tension.
Cost cutting on things like that WILL eventually take it's toll.
