Thanks. I have the wiring diagram. The issue is the connector #'s on the diagram don't match the numbers on the actual board. J2 on the board has 5 spots for connectors and J3 has 7. J1 which also has 7 (larger connectors) was where the cable for J5 was plugged in. So, I have 1 cable with 2 spots, J2 and J3. The diagram has it goes in J3 (nothing in J2) but J3 has 7 connectors and the wiring harness only has 5. Does it really go in J2?

Hi. The one with 2- connectors is the J-1 connection. The J-3 connection is the 5 wire connector as the # 1 pin is the red wire.... The J-5 connector has 6 wires as the # 1 pin is the orange wire. The conection with the 2 wires go to the J-1 at the board. The 5 wires goes to the J-3 at the board and the first terminal is the orange wire. Use your wiring diagram as the exact reference if this is out dated. All of this refers only to the motor (speed)control board. Thank You. Originally Posted by: csnow  Thanks.

Another user posted this: sidfink43 Senior Expert APP Volunteer Join Date: Mar 2009 Posts: 8,616 I am going to link you to the service manual, http://www.emaservicetips.com/pdfs/4...isWasherSM.pdfand on page 65 you will see that there are three connection, using J1 the neutral line, J3 which accepts inputs from the control unit and J5 which is output to the motor. Looking at the connectors, board and wiring diagram, I've concluded that the top of the speed control board has J3 and J5 swapped on the diagram. The correct order is J5, J3 and unused (7 pin, card edge, same side as J1). I'm going to try that and will post back...

In the end, I decided I need the new speed control board. Couldn't get the old one to work.
Added the new board. Swapped J3/J5 as listed in the manual. Worked. Ran diags, only missing the reed switch for the detergent pull out (not part of the new main control board).
So, I need 2 replacement boards. Next time, pull off the back and get a good look before trying to plug back in the cables!

Hi Csnow. Thank you for replying and letting us know of the progress. We are glad you got it working. We will let the team know and save for future reference.

The new control board for the washer does not have a connector for the reed switch. Even included a very poor photocopy of the board showing it disconnected. They said something about testing showing that it wasn't necessary and to let the customer know that removing the detergent drawer will no longer stop the washer.
