Whirlpool is responsible for a diverse range of brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The component in question is an oven control board, designed to replace existing boards. This board regulates essential oven operations like baking, broiling, adjusting temperatures, and setting timers. It includes a display that provides information on temperature, functions, the timer, and the clock.
The oven control board operates in environments where it is exposed to elevated heat and moisture, which can deteriorate its soldered components, causing it to fail. Indications that the control board may be malfunctioning include problems with adjusting temperatures or functions, or the oven completely ceasing to operate.
To install a new control board, begin by switching off the circuit breaker or unplugging the oven. Next, remove the front cowling and control knobs to reach the controls. The control board is situated at the bottom of this assembly. Once the new board is in place, reassemble the oven, following the removal steps in reverse. This genuine OEM part is sold individually and is compatible with Kenmore, Whirlpool, and Maytag ovens featuring front controls.
