A Whirlpool washer in Scio, OH wouldn’t power on after the customer installed a used stator. Our diagnosis revealed the unit needs a main control board and pressure switch to restore proper operation.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer won’t power on. They had previously installed a used stator in an attempt to fix the issue.
Diagnosis
Our inspection found that the washer needs a main control and pressure switch. The main control board failure is preventing the unit from powering on, while the pressure switch also requires replacement for proper water level sensing.
The Repair
- Parts needed: Main control board and pressure switch
- Estimate provided: $300.00 for the board plus labor and service call
- Status: Customer advised of repair requirements and costs
Is It Worth Repairing?
For this Whirlpool front-load washer model, a main control board replacement is a significant repair but often worthwhile if the unit is less than 8-10 years old. These washers are well-built and can provide many more years of service once the control electronics are restored.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers
- Clean the door seal monthly to prevent mold and maintain proper sealing
- Run a monthly cleaning cycle with washer cleaner to remove residue buildup
- Leave the door slightly open after use to allow moisture to escape
