How do you test a washing machine control board?

Washing machine does not work. Since it just bought one years ago, the components in it is not old, I think. So I want to check it from its PCB. Any tips on this?

It is a good way to fully test a modern appliance circuit board by connecting it up to a checked and fully functioning appliance the same as it came from. Even the manufacturers repair guys’ test boards that way if they have the same dilemma.
You can also visually check all of the solder joints and connectors and test the components that can be tested with a meter (resistors, capacitors and traces).
Contact the suppliers for after-sales service if it is within the warranty period.

What is an average CPH speed for hand SMD assembly?

What would be the average speed of assembling surface mount components on to a PCB for an experienced person? Assuming they have desk that is correctly set up (pick and place station) and the PCB has solder paste already applied.

How can I fix the PCB to the mechanical structure?

I designed a PCB with an imaging sensor that is mechanically coupled to a lens assembly using four 2-56 screws. I’m noticing that even though the screws are holding the board tightly against the mechanical structure if I flick or lightly knock the the assembly the image “moves”. I’m hoping to get a few suggestions for ways to fix the PCB to the mechanical structure. Any suggestions for adhesives or the like? Something else?
