Although the pump runs, pull it off, check if it's in a bind, bad bearings or something. The pump has thermal overheat protection. GWL10 has the main machine power routed through the pump. Pump trips-out on overheat, machine goes dead until it cools and resets.

The control board draws power through the pump windings. Bad pump = bad power supply.

checked the resistance through the motor terminals 32 ohms then nothing on shut down does this mean that its a bad control board or a bad pump Samurai Appliance Repair Man wrote: The control board draws power through the pump windings.

0.L overload (infinite ohms) could be a bad connection on either end or a "bad spot" on the Motor when it reads 0.L, check it right at the Motor while you rotate the Motor

Sounds to me like you have a problem with the pump. I believe that pump has a thermal overload protector that opens if the pump gets to hot. This would be what is shutting the machine down then when it cools and resets everything works again. Maybe bad bushings in motor or pump has something, (lint ball), stuck in impeller area causing drag and overloading pump motor?
