Just had 1 fail that was probably 8 years old. Took 2 - 3 weeks for the replacement to arrive, the factory was out of boards. The replacement was damaged, (in shipping?) and too 3 more weeks to get a replacement. The new ones are made by Siemens if i understood correctly. She is now running on a repaired original board with the promise of a new one when they arrive. I think this was just a fluke, they have always been relatively fast with parts.
The old boards had a lousy rep from my opinion. On mod sine the reverse relay kept going bad. I have one in my washer now, to cheap to change it and they don't have repair available on the old boards. I like the washers, and I guess that normally when a washer failed we would just buy a new one, with the Stabers we change the board and keep using them. I did have one that needed the tub bearings replaced, not a hard job. If I ever do it again I will probably press new bearings into the carrier myself, but that's just my nature. Just my opinion, and I've got plenty of those.
