Kenmore Elite Washer with Calypso. We have one that is about 4 or 5 years old, we are the second owners of this home and washer was here. Yesterday it stopped mid cycle, and the clothes were soaked, so I cleared code which I did not notice and started it again, same thing happened with-in a minute but "Ld" code came up then I moved the drain hose around and it made it through the complete cycle. Today it isn't working again only and error code "SL" came on so I did what manual said and it worked for a minute then the error code "ob" came on so I opened the lid shuffled the clothes around and it was a very small load that this should not have happened; it made it through the rest of the cycle. I then tried to run an empty load to see what happens but cannot because "ob" keeps coming on and stopping the machine even with nothing in it.

I work for a company that makes and sels apliances I can't disclose the name of the company for privacey reason but yes they can be they range from 500.00 and up I use to work in truble shoooting and repair sulations and right now I work in parts and we have lots of people calling in all the time to order this part and most do not buy them as they are so expensise and hard to replace if you do decide to order this yourself you will more or less likeley need a tec to put it in and if you order it also you will void all warenty on your machine if there is any left and if they send you a bad board you have lost your money but now if a tec comes out looks at it and orders it and you are sent a bad bord then it would be coverd and could get another one now for the cost of a tec to come is is usuley
70.00 and up depending onn your area + labor and part now if this is 5 years old there may still be a warenty on it to cover the control panal and it might also go beoynd the 5 years it will tell you wt your warenty is in your manual and then you would be responsible for the trip charge and labor onley if you call the company and give them your model and seral number the can tell you how old it is by the seral number and let you know wt kind of warenty if any you have left on this and if there was a extended warenty at anytime that someone else bought for this they would also have that info and if they did buy a extended warenty then you could still use it if it is not expired I know this got long and long and lengethy sorry but hope this answerd your questions
