Is this machine digital? No timer knob you turn? If so, could be timer, a bad wire connection problem, or control board.

Trying to diagnose a bad control board is about impossible except for the factory that makes them. And they might use oscilliscopes and other specialty equipment, in testing. Generally, one has to rule out other mechanial failures and then suspect the board.

It helps to be able to somewhat be able to read the electrical schematic, which may be located inside the toe-kick of the appliance. And to have a multi-meter to test with.

I have to admit I am behind the times with all these appliances that now are digital/control boards. There are a lot of control board failures in everything that has control boards, unfortunately. That I do know.
