It depends on the machine’s age. The main control is one of the pricier LG washer parts, and boards join the machine-age math past roughly 6–8 years; the board also shares faults with the inverter drive, so diagnosing one before the other saves an order.
⚠️Unplug first and keep the back-panel wire order on paper. The main control sits beside the inverter motor’s connector; changed wire order makes the second visit worse.
