What causes it, and what each fix costs
Main control board failure
Runs the whole machine. Because so many other faults look like a "bad board," proper diagnosis before buying a $200 part matters.
User interface / display board
Dead or partial display with a working machine behind it.
Power problem, not the board
Tripped GFCI, bad outlet, or a chewed harness. Techs check this first, you can too.
Repair or replace?
On machines under ~6 years, repair. Past that, a $400 board quote on a washer with worn bearings and suspension is the classic replace signal. Ask the tech what else is near end of life before deciding.
We'll quote you on hauling it away, or buying it.
Not every washer is worth repairing, and we'd rather tell you that than sell you a repair. If you're replacing it, we'll give you a free quote either way. Scrap pickup for a machine that's finished, or a cash offer if it still has life in it. Working units, recent models and premium brands are often worth real money.
Quick Questions
Do power surges really kill washer boards?
Yes, lightning season is board season in the trade. A $20 surge protector rated for appliances is cheap insurance if your washer’s outlet allows it.
