Unfortunately I do not have an ESR meter available. I know a hw repair shop
though. One limitation I could foresee for who may help to assess is
control board is not easily accessible. Could be seen here:

I actually used the video above as guide to replace the transmission belt
of this machine before. It was obviously not designed for easy disassemble.
Most painful part is re-assembling it.
Few more tidbits. Yesterday I kept the machine connected to the mains for
two hours before actually using it. One hour and it finally went on. One
more I loaded it and went through the program without a hitch. This unlike
the previous occasion when I operated it only minutes after switching on
and had to be re-started twice.
Also I mentioned yesterday text on the small display was quite faint right
after switching on. It was sharper and easily read by the end of the
program.
