@VeroniqueB99 Electronic controls logically ought to be more reliable than knobs and cam-driven switches.

But they are not. Digital tuners in TVs were an improvement over knobs. On washers, not so much.

One reason is they use cheap relays and solder them to PC boards. Either the relays, the solder joints, or the connectors fail due to high current.

Use good quality wire-tab relays and it would last longer than the machine.
