Gibson Washer controls don't work

If your Gibson washer controls are not working, start by checking whether the entire display or timer is dead. A damaged **Gibson washing machine power cord** is the most likely cause, especially if you see burn marks, exposed wires, or blackened terminals near the connections. Next, test the **line fuse** and **washer fuse** for electrical continuity with a multimeter. A fuse with no continuity has blown and must be replaced. If the washer has power but the **washer control panel is not working**, or the **washer selector knob is not working**, inspect the selector knob, timer knob, and control knob. A cracked or stripped knob can slip on the switch or timer stem instead of turning it. These issues can cause a washer display not working, washer buttons not working, or washer knob not working condition. Disconnect power before inspecting or testing electrical parts, and replace damaged components with the correct Gibson replacement part. Enter your model number to find the exact power cord, fuse, selector knob, timer knob, or control knob for your specific washing machine.
