Unless it gets too fancy but usually it’s just a thermostat that needs to be replaced.

And even in some cases where it does get fancy. If anything fails on the main control board of a washer or dryer, the only "answer" is typically a $250-$500 board replacement. I just got done replacing the heating element relay on my driver's board for the high high cost of... 10 dollars. This does require soldering to remove the old relay and install the new one, but close to everything is fixable.

I think it depends on who the board is from and what is fancy on it. $110 is my board replacement cost. Boards don’t usually fail quickly anyway unless they are just crap from the start.

Either that or the thermal fuse, which will blow if someone tries to run several loads without cleaning the lint trap.
