I suspect they've changed a few things since mine was built, but I would lose high speed after a thorough wash. It seems when I sprayed water on electrical connections for high speed solenoids in hydraulic compartment they would 'short' out. After they dried out, I would get high speed back. They look like GM waterproof connectors.
The connectors were dangling below hydraulic valve assembly.

It's the last e32 "high hp" 32 hp . Now they are only 27hp. I squeeze into a lot of sites . Need 60 wide machine.

I wish I could manage my time better and actually wash machines... but will track loss to see if it's simply rain getting to connections.
