Reviving a Fisher&Paykel Washer: Control Board Replacement
Brand: Fisher&PaykelModel: GWL11US
Attention: Replacement of a Fisher&Paykel washer control board is a complex process that should be done by qualified professionals only.
A customer reached out to us with a non-functional washing machine. The appliance remained entirely unresponsive, refusing to power on or acknowledge any commands. It was, for all intents and purposes, lifeless. Our technician initiated the troubleshooting process by examining the electronics, focusing on the main control board.
Upon a visual inspection of the control board, the technician identified damaged components, resembling thyristors, silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), or transistors. Unfortunately, replacing these components individually wasn’t feasible, as the lack of an electrical schematic for this specific brand of washing machine made it challenging to identify the exact part number of these components. Due to the proprietary nature of the brand, obtaining the electrical schematic was not possible, rendering a repair impractical.

In instances where control board issues involve power supply irregularities (e.g., +5 volts or +12 volts) caused by faulty capacitors, resistors, or diodes, we can often perform repairs by soldering or replacing the problematic components. However, this was not a feasible solution in this instance.
The resolution came in the form of a control board replacement. Despite the rarity of the control board for this particular washing machine, our extensive network allows us to source and order even the most uncommon parts. We take pride in providing a warranty for both the replacement parts and the labor involved, instilling confidence in the reliability of our services.
