E-Wave Washer controls don't work
When your E-Wave washer controls are not working, the problem may be affecting the entire display or timer, or just one control. Start by inspecting the washing machine power cord for breaks, exposed wires, or blackened terminals, especially where it connects to the washer. If the cord looks damaged, replace it. Next, test the line fuse and washer fuse with a multimeter for continuity. A fuse with no continuity has blown and must be replaced. If the washer has power but a specific control does not respond, check the selector knob, timer knob, or control knob. A cracked or stripped knob can slip on the switch or timer stem instead of turning it, causing washer controls not working symptoms. On E-Wave models, these parts are more likely than a control board when only one knob fails. Unplug the washer before testing or replacing parts, and enter your model number to find the exact replacement power cord, fuse, line fuse, selector knob, timer knob, or control knob for your specific washing machine.
01 - E-Wave Washing Machine Power Cord
If the whole washer display or timer is not working, the washer's power cord could the source of the problem. Inspect the cord for any breaks or burn marks near the terminals. If the terminals appear blackened or wires are exposed through the cord's insulation, you should replace the power cord with a new one.
