Start by determining if your Inglis washer isn’t responding. Did the circuit trip? You can determine if the circuit trip is taking place by plugging in a hair dryer into the outlet. The wiring inside the outlet could be the problem when the hair dryer is not function. Find an electrician to fix the outlet’s electrical wiring. If the hair dryer works, there could be an issue with the wiring in the washing machine. Follow these steps to examine the wiring inside the Inglis washing machine:
- Unplug the Inglis washer and examine the power cord for damage. If the power cord has been damaged, repair it.
- Check the wire connections to the main control board or timer. Reconnect any wires that are loose.
- Check the wiring connections between the main control board (Inglis washer) and the user interface board.
Connect any wires from the user interface that are loose: If the wiring connections are working, you might have to replace the control board or the user interface board. Before replacing any control components, it’s a good idea to ask a Inglis service technician check the Inglis washing machine control boards as well as the user interface boards. Live voltage checks are necessary to test the controls. Because these tests can be dangerous, we don’t recommend you do the live voltage test with your Inglis washer.
Replace the Inglis main control board of the washer: The main electronic control board, also known as the mother board governs the timing and execution of washer component functions. It regulates the fill valves as well as the drive motor, and the drain pump.
Replace the Inglis washer timer: The timing device -often referred to as a cycle selector — is the dial that you use to select the cycle on a Inglis washer with mechanical controls. The timer causes the washer to move through its cycles, starting with the initial filling and ending with the its final spin. If the timer isn’t moving the washer through its cycles then replace it. Replace the Inglis washer’s user interface board. The user interface board is comprised of the buttons that are used to configure the washing cycle. If one or more buttons don’t work, you need to replace the user interface board. A Inglis washing machine that’s not working can be extremely frustrating and stressful.
