my mistake, it's the doorlatched switch that the wax motor actuates that you have to jumper. and the washer should stop if the door is mistakenly opened. sorry

this is a not the right fix but when mamma needs the washer she needs it now. As other answers like Richards and other web sites will tell you the problem is componet failure on the board, but to get it going quick while the parts are on order simply jumper out the door closed switch. The washer will run fine but you must make sure the door is closed and if opened the washer will continue to run. Also you will have to turn it off at the end of the cycle buy pressing the stop switch, or it will slowly, intermittently, keep agitating, since the wax motor does not unlock and open the door closed switch.
