LG WM2501HWA Washer issue

[tjk27513]

The tub light in this washer stays on instead of turning off after a short period of time.  Sometimes the controls are locked out, sometimes they work.  Usually we can unplug the unit to do a hard reset, but sometimes that doesn't work unless we leave it unplugged for an extended period of time.  I assume the control board is dying a slow death, but I'm not 100%.  Anybody seen this problem before?  If so, which board needs to be replaced and how hard/easy is it to do?  I just replaced the control board in the matching dryer, so I am capable of doing the job without hiring a technician to do it for me.

Also, can anyone point me to a service manual for this washer?

No question about it, MAIN pcb. Located in the upper left rear of the machine. Replace and be happy. Light should time out after 4 minutes.

Thanks!  Do you know where I can get a service manual?  Searsparts has a schematic diagram that is not bad but a manual would be better.
