<blockquote>My model was built oct 2004 in Germany. It looks identical to that pic. It's a GHW9300 with the heater.</blockquote><blockquote>today this washer model is discontinuted that means that if its break i would have to buy a new one since that the fixing cost would be the price of a new washer.</blockquote>Not true. I checked several online sources for model GHW9300. Parts are listed and available. Prices for the circuit boards range from $153 to $258 depending on which board and which source ... can a new equivalent machine can be had for those prices?
