The electronic control board is the "brains" of the washer that starts and stops the washer's components, such as the drive motor and the drain pump. If the control board's display doesn't light up or if the washer doesn't fill, spin, or drain, the electronic control board could be the problem; we recommend having a service technician diagnose the cause. If the electronic control board is faulty, replace it with a manufacturer-approved replacement part. Before you begin, wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have someone help you move the washer away from the wall. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Pull the control knob off of the front of the console panel. Pull the washer forward to access the back panel of the console. Remove the screws from the top of the back panel of the console. Push back on the control panel while sliding a putty knife under the right corner of the control panel to release the mounting clip. Repeat on the left side to release the console. Set the console on the top of the washer. Take a digital photograph or otherwise document the location of wires connected to the back of the electronic control board. Release any locking tabs on the wire harness connection plugs and then pull each wire plug out of the connections on the back of the control board. Disconnect the air hose from the back of the control board. Tip: The other end of the air hose attaches to the bottom of the washer tub. The hose enables the control board to detect the water level. Remove the mounting screws from the electronic control board. Release the locking tabs and pull the electronic control board out of the console. Position the new control board in place and snap it into the locking tabs. Insert the mounting screws in the control board housing and tighten it firmly. Reconnect the air hose down to the back of the control panel. Using your photograph or other documentation as a guide, connect all the wires to the back of the new control board. Push the wire harness plugs into the connections on the control board until the locking tabs snap into place. Position the console on top of the top panel and snap the mounting clips into place to secure the console on the top panel. Reinstall the screws at the top of the back panel on the console, and tighten the screws firmly. Push the knob back into the control panel. Plug the washer into the electrical outlet. Return the washer to its original location. With the washer shut off, and the basket empty (no water or clothes) and the lid closed, enter the diagnostic mode: Turn the control dial 1 complete rotation (360 degrees) counterclockwise. Quickly (within about 6 seconds) turn the control dial 3 clicks clockwise, one click back, and one click more clockwise. All the green status lights blink when you successfully activate the diagnostic mode. If the status lights don’t blink, turn the control dial one complete rotation counter-clockwise to reset the control and then try again, this time turning the knob faster. In the diagnostic mode, select the Calibration Cycle by turning the control dial 4 clicks clockwise. When the Rinse light turns on, press Start to begin the Calibration Cycle, which runs for 2 to 3 minutes. When the Calibration Cycle ends, the lid unlocks, and the washer shuts off.
OMG. I'm so glad I saw this video. I replaced my control panel and I'm a girl. Perfect directions.
Followed your directions, no lights come on after attempting to enter the diagnostic mode, did this well within 6 seconds. Any ideas?
This was very helpful and I definitely was confident that I was going to be able to make this repair after watching the video. I especially liked the portion where it shows how to reset the machine after the main control board is replaced.
Thanks for the positive feedback. We're glad to hear that our video helped you with your repair.
Thank you for this video. Every 2nd or 3rd wash the machine is unable to start. It almost seems dead but it can go into calibration mode so it is getting power. It will not allow usage until its unplugged and plugged back in. I am wondering if it is the circuit board. 🤔
Will the new Control Board NEED calibration after installation?
I have a KENMORE 110.2224251 SERIES 500, will it need calibration after installation?
I have a question ... there is small clear hose but the plug where is goes connected broke is it fixable ?
No. You'll likely need to replace the entire control board so you can connect that air hose securely to the board.
I have a 110.5142511 model (type 587-20) and the control board isn't mounted with screws. Instead it appears to use brackets (2) on the top side. However, I can't find any instructions or videos that explain how to pop it off. Could you give me some ideas? I have photos.
Squeeze the metal tabs with needle-nose pliers as shown at the 6:20 mark in this video to remove the control board on that washer: czcams.com/video/OJnc9b8ncB4/video.html . We hope this information helps. If you need further assistance, let us know.
@@searspartsdirect FTW! Such a great video. I spent a good two hours trying to find something like this...covering my specific machine. Very thankful it was available. And very appreciative of you pointing me to it!
I have a model 11029133410
I can't seem to get the console off, i have tried with a putty knife and it will not move.
Great directions. I changed out the electronic control module but when I went to calibrate it I discovered the dial and button console was different from yours. Mine is also an Oasis Elite, model 11027042603. Can you provide me the correct calibration procedure for this model? I looked in the repair manual and it does not give one.
Your washer is an Oasis model. The electronic control board on your model doesn't need calibration.
@@searspartsdirect Many thanks, no wonder I couldn't find it! Well, I guess I may have another problem because the washer did not work at all with the new electronic control module. So I pulled it back out and replaced it with the old one and the washer is working again!? I'm thinking the interface board (button console) may be acting up but I will not do anything until it acts up again (don't fix it if it ain't broken)
I have a model 300 Kenmore Top-Loading High Efficiency Washer #110.22242511. Will the calibration instructions shown work on my model?
Because your model has the Deep Fill option, calibration is needed on your washer.
Has anyone order parts from this people with a promise of a delivery date but after two month still nothing, CAN’ T EVEN GET A REAL PERSON TO TALK TO. Horrible service
