Long time till a reply, floor and windows for Winter
We had snow yesterday, not a lot but white was filling the sky..

Got another lower control board
Still trips the GFI
What kind of readings should I be getting off of this electric motor

Downed all the reading material on this washer, not much more to go on

I can not say one way or other; the problem may not be as far as "GFI".
Problem could be in the power consumption of machine.
Some new high efficiency crap machine are constantly starting and stopping
that put the additional stress on supply line and braker's which can
cause tripping
of GFI. This type of machines should "NOT" be hook up through GFI's
direct hookup
should be consider.

GFI on an appliance containing motor? If GFI is suspected bypass it for
temporary. Trouble-shooting is just logical steps. Logic of elimination.
If GFI is suspected make sure it is or it is not, then next step and so
on until you arrive at solution.
