Sometimes DIY repair ends in expensive gremlin chasing frustration, good luck OP.

Had to do a similar repair on the control board for my dryer last year. Or was it two years ago? 

Had a similar thing happen to our washer, ended up just buying a replacement board and stuffing that in.
Washing machines are scams. Every company uses a raw aluminum spindle to support the drum that is designed to react with detergents and break after a number of washes. It takes hours to replace, if you can find the part. Then Bosch started sealing the drums with welded plastic so users could not replace them.
We should stop calling them "common problem with this model" and call then what they are.
Designed obsolescence failure points.
Helluva surge to blow a relay.
Youre probably in for a new washer mate. Time alone. You gotta account for that.
Good luck!
I was able to fix mine but all mine needed was new struts so it was a simple mechanical repair. I was super jazzed though
I'm rooting for you! ☺️
