06 - Gibson Washer/Dryer Combo Control Board
Since a washing machine control board is responsible for sending voltage to nearly all of the washer's electrical components, a faulty board may cause the washer not to start. If the washer's entire display is not working, it's likely the control board is defective. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test the power output terminals on the board after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.
