Water pump continuing to run after a wash cycle.
Released the two spring clips located under the edges of the top console using a putty knife. Had to give them a good whack as they were stiff.
Tilted the console forward. Removed two screws that secure the control panel. Unplugged all the wiring harness connectors (which are unique, so no chance of plugging them in wrong.) Removed the vinyl tube that runs to the panel.
Removed the old control board, inserted the new board. Secured it with the two screws. Plugged in all the connectors. Inserted the vinyl tube.
Tilted the console back up. Snapped the console back down on the spring clips. .
Mission complete.

I have a brand-new washer, not even a year old, and it's stuck in a drain mode, and it won't function. I notice you have a problem with control boards on these models. S/N CD2401247
For model number WTW4957PW0
Hi Clifford, thank you for reaching out. We sell OEM parts and provide repair information only. We are not the manufacturer of this washer. The issue could be with the control board, but before replacing it check the drain hose first. If it is fine, the issue could be with the drain pump, part number PS11770076. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

My washer stays in wash mode. I unplugged it and also reset the washer using the knob. It won't wash. I replaced the shift actuator, and that didn't work. And there are no clogs. Sometimes when I reset the system using the knob it works maybe one time. Do you think it's the mother board?
For model number WTW4957PW0
Hi Joseph, thank you for reaching out. Yes, the main control board might be causing the issue. Its internal circuits might be unable to process the signal to advance the cycle. Since a manual reset only works temporarily, the board is likely stuck in a permanent software loop or hardware glitch. Replacing it might fix the issue. The part number is PS16744868. We hope this solves your problem!
