My washer / dryer in the RV has been on the fritz for a couple of months.
The other day, it degraded to where it wouldn’t dry.
I did some internet research and I determined that the control board was likely bad.
The RV’s transfer switch had a loose connection on shore neutral a few months ago and failed. The electrical oddity killed the transfer switch and I replaced it. At that time, the washer / dryer had worked, but the display lamps flickered.
I ordered a control board the other day and decided to replace it today.
I had to pull the 150 pound unit out of the cabinet and remove the rear cover. I also found a loose cold water hose at the rear and tightened it up.
Washer / dryer now works.
I will clean up the inside of the cabinet and slide the washer / dryer back in and button up everything tomorrow.
I will post pictures tomorrow.
Right now, just celebrating the victory...
 
Finished it up today.
Everything went back in as intended.
I ran a short cycle to test, and while I was outside, the machine went to pump water from the drum and it started running out the back of the RV.
I shut it off and dummy me, had forgotten to insert the drain hose into the standpipe.
Inserted it and finished up.
The old board appears to have a frappes regulator and capacitor.
