In the past 7 years I have gone through 2 washers due to main control board issues. The first was a Maytag. The first time the control board had to be replaced it was 1 week short of 1 year old. At 3 years old it had to be replaced again. When it went up again a little over a year later I threw in the towel and junked the washer. Replaced it with a Kenmore and now at less than 3 years old, you guessed it, the main control board has gone up. I don't understand why I am having such problems. That being said, my laundry room is NOT airconditioned, and it does get pretty hot and humid out there. Could this be causing my control board issues? I know computer boards don't like humidity. I am getting tired of constantly repairing washers and having to buy a new one every 3 or 4 years.
