Louis Rossman, Right to Repair Bill

I would have liked to have a look at the Maytag board (sounds like it might be the same problem you encountered) - but it came from the M.I.L. who always knows best     so I wasn't going anywhere near the thing.

Politics trumps curiosity.

There's really nothing remarkable about the board, it's a cheap phenolic PCB stuffed with mostly through-hole components and a SMT microcontroller. The door lock motor is controlled by a triac which is a little TO-92 device just barely adequate to drive a properly working motor. For some reason some of them would develop unusually low resistance and blow the triac.

he makes interesting SMD videos,    but can forget to hit the stop button after 3 hrs.

Some of the videos really are too long, the same is occasionally true of Dave's videos too though. I enjoy them a lot but admittedly I find myself skipping sections fairly frequently.
