Product review (5 stars): Excellent replacement part - Easy for DIYers and computer techs!
Our LG washing machine started failing to turn on after a load would finish...or sometimes we'd have to unplug the machine, wait about a minute and then plug it in for it to work for one cycle.  So I did some research and determined that it was the "motherboard" of the washing machine that must be going.  And you can call it whatever you want, but I've worked with computers since the 80s and know a motherboard when I see one.  Plus, for those of you who are computer-savvy, you will remember from experience that it takes a certain amount of time for the electrical current to "clear" from a motherboard.  Creepiest part of diagnosing this issue with the washing machine was watching the lights on the front of the machine STAY ON while the end of the plug for the machine was IN MY HAND (I.E. NOT PLUGGED IN).  If you look this part up online, there are several how-to videos on making the repair yourself.  My husband and son took longer moving the washing machine away from the wall than the actual repair took.  If you are computer-savvy, the actual repair should only take 15-20 minutes.  Repair guy wanted $300+ to fix and I'm not sure that included the part.
