1. Remove the housing of your machine. A video showing how to do this can be found below:

2. Once the housing is removed, you will locate the large black box, this is the control board. Use a small Phillips head screwdriver to remove the upper and lower screws that hold the cover on. Once removed, take off the cover and set to the side.
3. Take pictures or label the position of all the connectors on the board. Unplug all the board connections. Instead of removing the casing of the board, it is easier to just remove the board itself and replace it with the new board. Remove the four Phillips screws in each corner. Once removed, slide out the control board. Slide in the new control board, screw in all four corners, plug your connections back in, and screw the cover back on.
4. Put the housing back onto the machine.
