I have this Maytag washer that just started to act up. I tried to put it in a diagnostic mode and it won't do it. Then I noticed when you try to spin the dial to any cycle the light on the dial stays where ever it started from when you powered it on. I'm thinking it's the board because it won't go into diagnostic mode in the first place. I would like to get a better idea on what's causing it before I replace a expensive board.

I'm attaching your tech. data sheet below, on Page 2 look where it says Unsuccessful Activation

Unsuccessful Activation
If entry into diagnostic mode is unsuccessful, refer to the following indication and action:
Indication: None of the indicators or display turn on.
Action: Power on the washer.
--->If indicators come on, try to change the function for the three buttons used to activate the diagnostic test mode. If any button is unable to change the function, something is faulty with the button, and it will not be possible to enter the diagnostic mode using that button. Replace the user interface.
--->If no indicators come on after powering on the washer, go to TEST #1: Main Control (ACU), page 14.

Here's the main control board for your model, if needed:

I could not change any of the buttons so I ordered a user interface. I'll update you as soon as I get it replaced. Thanks Jake

Ok, sounds good, let is know how it goes.

Here's the user interface for your model, in case others need it too:
Console W10861510

After installing the user interface, I was able to put it in diagnostic mode. All is good now. Thanks for your assistance Jake!!!
