My control board has given up the ghost. The washer wouldn't power on, but after a few repeated power button presses, the magic smoke was let out of the back of the washer.
Tore it apart and found the resistor that was smoking. R72, near the power connector and the fuse. This resistor was wrapped in a heat shield fabric of some kind. How can I determine what resistor to replace it with? Does anyone have a schematic?
Also, with the control board still connected, I did do a basic "fault to earth" test by testing resistance across both live and neutral to ground on the plug end. Neither was faulted. Can anyone suggest a more comprehensive test? My fear is I replace this resistor, but that it just immediately burns out again.
