Whirlpool Control Board W11342846 OEM Part

Whirlpool, a leading manufacturer, offers diverse products across its portfolio, including brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. The company also produces items for labels such as Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among its microwave components is the electronic control board, identified by part number W11342846. This critical component manages essential functions like heating, lighting, and turntable operations.

Due to the presence of high-voltage capacitors within microwaves, which can retain a hazardous electrical charge even when the device is unplugged, only a qualified service technician should perform the installation of this part. The control board's latest version features an integrated thermistor and eliminates the need for a P9 electric plug. The thermistor already present within the microwave oven can remain in place, as it does not require removal.
