Kenmore Elite Washing Machine Code F73

I'm I'm having trouble with my Kenmore elite front washing machine. It keeps bringing up the code f73 it hasn't been working since April of this year and now for the past week it keeps making a very subtle beeping noise and we're not sure what the problem is. Can you let us know what f73 means and what we can do to fix this?

The F73 error code is letting you know that there is a communications error between the main control board and the interface control board. You will need to check both parts and the wiring between them. The F 73 ERROR CODE = UI (User Interface) error and or EEPROM checksum failure. The normal solution is to replace the interface board.

Thanks
