Hi Marino,

The good news is your motor probably isn't dead. If you are measuring the same voltage on both sides of the motor it is likely something, somewhere is disconnected.

Hi there,you mentioned the motor control board,is the board on the right hand side elevated from the main board?

Marino, I think it is on that panel behind the ESS switch.

back again Dan,I found 3 diodes on the main board including a resistor that suffered a lot of heat.I would say burnt out.I am not sure the value of the resistor,as it is really discolored.very dificult to get to them without removing the main board,but I'll try.
continuing the saga........
