Whirlpool, a leading manufacturer, produces a diverse portfolio of brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also create products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This specific component is a control board designed for Whirlpool washing machines. Positioned behind the washer's upper control panel, it manages critical operations like filling, washing, spinning, and draining.
The control board is susceptible to damage from power surges, extreme temperatures, or moisture. Malfunctions may cause the washing machine to miss cycles or halt entirely. To identify potential issues, utilize a voltage tester to determine if the control panel is at fault.
Prior to replacing a control board, ensure the washer is unplugged from its power source. Relocate the appliance to create space for rear access to the control panel. Unscrew the mounting hardware to remove the main control panel, detach the old board from its connectors, and fit the new board accordingly.
This component is an authentic OEM part and is compatible with washing machines under Whirlpool brand names, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper. Additional hardware is not provided with the control board.
