Controls, timers and wiring

Symptom: A cycle that doesn't advance, the wrong water level filling, an unresponsive display, or the washer not starting at all.

Check: Look for burn marks or a burnt smell near the board or terminals, and check whether buttons and knobs respond -- a unit that powers on but won't cycle often traces back to this group.
