They fail less often than they are blamed, and on this equipment they are also the most expensive single part in the appliance — so the order of the diagnosis matters more here than anywhere else on this list. ### What actually goes wrong - **Supply interruptions** caught mid-write, which is what the memory conditions on this make usually are. - **The harness or ribbon** between two boards, rather than either board. - **Heat and steam** over years, which is what an oven ribbon lives in. - **A board fitted and never configured**, which reports itself in words. ### What decides the figure The board itself, which varies enormously across this catalog, and whether the appliance has to come out of cabinetry to reach it.

It is also the most over-diagnosed part on any appliance, so we prove what the board drives before agreeing. Where it genuinely is the board we say so and give the figure before ordering it. That means the control has not been told which appliance it is driving — usually after a board has been replaced by somebody. It is configuration rather than a part, and it is worth mentioning if any board has been changed at any point. Then it is worth taking seriously. A control condition that survives five minutes off at the breaker is a control condition; one that does not was a supply interruption, and this coast supplies plenty of those.
