    Hi,
    I’ve been out to take a look at a Whirlpool washing machine and the display is completely dead. Getting a live and neutral at the mains filter. The main PCB (control unit) gets the live but no display or light on the facia.
    I’ve been out to quite a few of these machines in the last year with this fault but have never actually had a customer that wants to spend money on getting it repaired.
    I presume its the control unit, but could it be the display module.

    Has anybody come across this fault and can point me in the right direction as to which PCB it will be.

    Many thanks as usual.

    Thanks for the info Jag.
    The problem I have is that the lady is a strange character, you know the type, and won’t be happy if I don’t repair it the next visit. I would rather go armed with a new one in cast the capacitor swap doesn’t work.

    Does anybody know if the control module comes programmed or not. Searching on connect it show 3 different versions for this machine, but no mention of whether its programmed or not. Looking at Qualtex they just list the one, out of stock, but programmed.

    If anybody has the correct part number for a programmed one, it would really be appreciated.

    Thanks as usual guys.

    Update –
    I went out today armed with the appropriate control board (had a look for a faulty cap on the board while I was at it) and it didn’t make any difference. Live and neutral going to it but still no display. Its got to be the display board. What a pain!

    You should have been looking for a faulty resistor not a capacitor

    Sorry I meant resistor, just a mistake.
    Doesn’t matter anyway, I swapped the complete control panel
