Want to guess how to fix my washer?

Any appliance wrenchers on here?

10 year old front loader GE WSXH208A1WW which appears to be also sold by Frigidaire and Kenmore. Motor isn't working.

I pop the back cover off and motor turns freely, belt looks good. There is a control board for the motor speed in the bottom of the machine. It has a fuse - I go pop the fuse out and measure it for continuity- checks out. Pop it back in. Turn machine back on to see if I can pick up some voltage on connectors and the control unit. Now the motor runs again as if nothing happened ...

I go let it run its program and shove it back in the corner. Aside from moving it I also shove the dial back in (turning it off). When I turn it back on - motor not moving again ...

What can I check? What do you think it is? I am thinking intermittent in the motor control board.

It may be time for a new machine? 10 years is a decent run. The new board is $170 - and only good if it fixes the problem ...
