GW712 washer no power- controller blown?

My F&P, GW712 washer caused sparkes in the power point and now there is now power at all. Burned resistors on the Motor controller PCB. Can I just change the motor controller, or is there something else causing it?.
What do I have to do once I fit the new motor controller?

If you buy & instal a new controller yourself then F&P will not give you a warranty on the new PCB. If you plug it in and it blows you will have lost your money. There is a 50/50 chance something on the machine caused the first one to blow. Get a qualified service person to do it and they will check all parts of machine for you.
