Tappan Washer controls don't work
When your Tappan washer controls are not working, first determine whether the entire display or timer is dead or only one control fails. If the washing machine won’t turn on, inspect the power cord for breaks, exposed wires, or blackened terminals near the connections. A blown line fuse is the next likely cause, followed by the washer fuse. Unplug the machine and use a multimeter to check each fuse for continuity. Replace a fuse that has no continuity, and do not bypass it. If the washer has power but a knob does not operate the selected cycle, inspect the selector knob, timer knob, or control knob. A cracked or stripped knob can slip on the switch or timer stem instead of engaging it, making the washer control panel appear not working. Replace the damaged knob so it turns the stem correctly. These checks address common Tappan washer controls problems without replacing the control board unnecessarily. 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 - Tappan 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.
