Take the computer out of my Centennial washer and make it mechanical

As seen by the millions of problems with the Centennial washer like not filling up with enough water to wash properly. This is because of new water conservation laws on manufacturing that make thinks not to work anymore. For instance, you have to flush the toilet two times to make that work wasting probably more water.

Anyway, I started taking this washer apart and found that it has a computer in it with a computerized pressure valve. If the pressure vale breaks you have to buy a new circuit board for up to $300 or find the pressure valve for $39 and solder a new one in.

I want to take the computer out and put in an adjustable mechanical pressure sensor, old school mechanical wash control or maybe just a timer switch and make this washer work right.

I need help with the wiring schematics

like the red wire to the motor or the orange? Red is clockwise rotation CW and orange is counter-clockwise CCW. I can make it spin. What do I do with the blue wire to make it Agitate? Just put it on a switch? Also the what wire do I need to make it drain Lt blue and a Black with white strip? Black with white stripe is neutral.

@hitor if you can post some clearer pictures of your wiring. We need to see what connects where and terminates where. I wonder if it is possible by just applying jumers across the connectors from the "computerized pressure valve"

Update I got everything to work except the agitator must be controlled by the computer instead of gears it only goes in one direction. I scraped the whole idea. I bought and older washer with everything mechanical a Maytag Performa works great I am parting out the other one.
