Well, how much do you want to mess with it, that is the big question, or do you just throw it out and get a new one.
How hard is it to open up the machine to get to the control card? If that's not too hard, and you are going to get paid for a new machine by the home warranty people, do you want to spend their money on the old machine? What happens if you fix this machine, then in another year or two it breaks and you make another claim, will they say "No we totaled that washer before, paid on that, so no warranty coverage for YOU!". ------------- Max Charleston SC On Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 7:07 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Found one there, to get the part number then found it elsewhere for > about $112.
