Programmes stop unpredictably or the controls do not operate correctly.
Repeated errors may come from the part the board monitors rather than the board itself.
A model-specific approach
Check supply, connectors, sensors, door lock and controlled loads before assigning the fault to the board.
The exact model and operating conditions determine which tests apply. These are possible inspection directions, not a list of components that must be changed.
Send the exact code and the programme stage at which it appears.
Record the timing, previous work and accessible model label. Do not remove covers or handle live, refrigerant or pressurised components to obtain information.
Completion
The repaired control system should complete relevant fill, wash, drain and spin checks.
Discuss which operation was checked and what to observe during normal use. Keep the service date, model and work description if you need to report the symptom again.

No. Sensors, locks, drainage and other monitored conditions can interrupt a programme without a board fault.
Yes. Diagnosis should include the connected load or sensor rather than only the board.
A reset can erase useful evidence. The exact code and programme stage help guide inspection.
No. Configuration, part identity and model support must also match.
No. Repairability depends on its condition and available options; replacement may need separate assessment.
No. The display and buttons can function while a controlled circuit has a problem.
Ask whether repair or replacement is proposed, what fault supports the diagnosis and which operating checks are included.
Yes. Connectors and wiring are relevant checks when the behaviour comes and goes.
No. The model-specific meaning and underlying circuit need investigation before approving a component.
Relevant fill, wash, drain and spin functions should be evaluated rather than relying only on the panel lighting up.
