I drowned my control panel on my Fisher & Paykel washing machine 703?

You are awesome! Thanks for giving me the confidence to fix my control board. My drain pump was going out and I should have stopped using the washer, but I didn't. The display panel went blank, and I knew it was cooked. I carefully undid the board and discovered the blackened T4L fuse, and bought a four pack from Radio Shack for 3.49 and re soldered it in, then bought an 86.99 drain pump from FP, and today it arrived, and just now we finished our test load. Just like new!

Thanks again for saving me a lot and taking a lot of stress out of our family.

Thanks to those who looked. I fixed it myself by replacing the T4L (time lag 4amp) fuse in the control board. (by the way F&P said to replace the $200 control board as it is not fixable, they don't even have a part number for the fuse). I just purchased the fuse from Dick Smith Electronics (6 fuses in a pack for $4.98) and five minutes after getting home the washing machine was working perfectly. So far it has done at least 15 loads I would say that was a pretty good test to say it is fixed.
