Your video saved me many hundreds of dollars. Being able to see how to test the various components before figuring out which one to replace was huge. My machine is back in business with the replacement of the control board. Thank you!
This process worked on my LG WM3997HWA Washer-Dryer Combo Main Pcb Assembly part was EBR79950213 It just has a couple more connectors than yours. I think it is 15. Because of your video it was 1 day of diagnostics. 3 days to receive the part and 30 minutes to install. Now I have my washer back up and running. Thanks
Welllllll. I’m perfectly good at starting laundry. But the whole reason I purchased this machine is because I suck at finishing it. lol. I would look in the washer after 2 days and find mildewed laundry. So with this one I find nice dry clothes. 😁 Thanks again.
@@dougb8490 Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm experiencing the same thing on a control board that I just installed: the red light doesn't come on immediately when it's plugged in, but it does come on after I press the power button, but then nothing happens, and I have no digital display
Hi. Thank you for your video.I have a washer exactly like your video. It was totally dead. I changed the motherboard. I just got the sound on /off abd light inside the drum but not display control. Do you think i have to buy the display control? What is it the number part.? Thanks
Very nice explanation but I think if I change the complete motherboard it will be costly why not change the particular parts which are these spoiled it
Occasionally ours will not turn on when you press the power button. If you unplug it for a minute, it will work fine. We have not had any problems with it working once it is on. Only after you turn it off, it may not turn on next time you use it. I suspect it is something on the control board locking up. We are always able to wash our clothes but it is a nuisance.
No red light when power applied is not a definitive method of confirming a bad pcd, in my case the display PCB was bad. Note: when I pressed start the red light would illuminated for 5 seconds
Very detailed and awesome video. My washer had no power this morning. Will feel much more comfortable on trying to diagnosis my washer. Thank
Thank you for your kind words, I'm really glad the video could help you out!
Excellent video, best I found. Using the video, determined my power filter part failed.
Glad it helped you diagnose the problem!
Of the videos I've watched, yours is the best. Very thorough.

How much was the main control board?
This process worked on my LG WM3997HWA Washer-Dryer Combo
Main Pcb Assembly part was EBR79950213
It just has a couple more connectors than yours. I think it is 15.
Because of your video it was 1 day of diagnostics. 3 days to receive the part and 30 minutes to install. Now I have my washer back up and running. Thanks
Awesome! So glad the video worked for you! Now you can tackle laundry like a champ! 🎉

The redlight on the MCB turns on when the power on the button is pushed. Otherwise, it remains off. Is the MCB good or bad? Thanks for your help.

Yea same question I’m currently having the same issue. Thanks for the video and thanks in advance
@@AdrianHernandez-cp8fw I also and looking for where to purchase a control panel
@@AdrianHernandez-cp8fw HD supply, or wherever the washer came from, just keep model and serial numbers

Yes, if you're knowledgeable about repairing control boards, that definitely sounds like a great idea!
Occasionally ours will not turn on when you press the power button. If you unplug it for a minute, it will work fine. We have not had any problems with it working once it is on. Only after you turn it off, it may not turn on next time you use it. I suspect it is something on the control board locking up. We are always able to wash our clothes but it is a nuisance.
@@2011k1500 yes we are currently having that issue as well. We have to unplug it and reset it before every use.
