washing machine 16mnths old circuit board fried is it expensive( how much does a new pcb cost) and do i need an engineer to do it or can be done by myself . many thanks andy

no idea of cost as you haven't told us the model/make but I will say that fried pcb boards tend to happen because a component elsewhere on the machine has failed and caused high currents to flow.BE WARNED! as a new pcb might go the same way if you reapply the same fault to it!
