A few years ago my neighbor's (cat dude) GE washer go bit by lightning. A new controller board was $157.00 +$17 shipping, more then half the cost of the machine. There was a PC mount transformer with no output, replaced it with something scrounged that looked similar with 12 volts output. Worked fine, not bad for a couple hours work. The board didn't seem to have much in the way of protection, so just gave the machine back to the neighbor, mine's old, but works fine, and no digital controls.
Would definitely look over the control board, it's likely something cheap and simple in the power section, a fuse would be too obvious (the one I fixed had none anyway). Only thing I know about 220 appliances, don't work on them plugged in, they hurt bad... Maybe you are more comfortable, or know how to work around it. The GE was 110, so I just had to find where the power entered the board, and test from there. Guess the transformers output from some relays on the board.
Still can't get over the poor design, or the high cost of replacement boards. Pay a man $75, spend half a day waiting for him to drop by and take a look and give you an estimate, which you figure to be almost as much as buying a new washer. Pay the repairman to fix it, and expect the same failure (hey, it's Florida, lightning strikes), or buy a different brand. Either way, the man gets his $75.
