Another post about the washer NOT completing the wash cycle.

If I set it to the 15 or 30 minute wash its fine.
If I set it to any other and the spin cycle is set to 800rpm. Its fine.
If I set it to anything above 800rpm it will reset the cycle once the cycle gets down to 3 minutes left.
So It has already completed spin cycles.
But its always the fast spins at the end, and always at the tail end of the fast spin that it resets.
What I am saying is that is IS spinning at high speed, it just hiccups at the end of the spin cycle.
3 minutes left is almost completed as the last minute it just sits there as per usual.
So in actuality its only two minutes left and it fails.

The machine is balanced on the floor.
I have already run the balance test three times. Oddly enough, counter to what some techs on youtube say, the machine check cycle only take a minute or less. Not three minutes.
The filter at the bottom of the machine gets cleaned regularly.
The machine itself gets the clean cycle weekly.

This all started after a house move. So I am a bit perplexed. The machine was treated with care during the move.

I would also like to know how a PCB board can become an issue considering that there are no moving parts.
The only way I know that a pcb board can become unstable is if;
A. Water gets onto the board and not dried off and machine is used thereby causing a possible short.
B. The solder is dry and it cracks (which is a possibility on older pcb boards and it is an easy and very cheap fix) or
C. The capacitors are cheap and nasty and they expand resulting in leakage. The capacitors are also cheap and easy to replace.

Any more info that I have forgotten to add please ask. Or if I think of any later I will add as well.

Thank you.
