Hello, Just went though this process with our he4t washer. You state that your washer is only one year old. First read your warranty (page 3). Our warranty stated that the control board has a 2 year limited warranty were they (sears) will replace control board free and you pay for labor. If this is not the case you can buy the board for $149.00 plus shipping over the internet and do it yourself very easy to install. Or what I ended up doing since our washer was out of warranty (3 years old)we purcashed the sears smart agreement@ $279.00 sears agrees to fix your washer or give you a in store $500.00 credit towards another washer (there is a $500.00 limit on each service call on this agreement) . But you can have as many service calls as you want doing this 1 year agreement.We went with this agreement cause I wasn't 100% sure that was the Only problem,If I bought the control board @ around $160.00 shipped and that wasn't the problem I wouldn't be able to return a Electrical part. So I thought for a extra $130.00 sears would gaurentee to fix it and I would have a 1 year warranty to. Ended up being just the control panel total $439.00 with labor and the turn around was 1 week, sears service was great even though this washer has some very exspensive weak points .Hope this helps Craig
