Whirlpool, a renowned manufacturer, produces appliances under several brand names such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and supplies products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among their offerings, this control board is an essential component designed for Whirlpool washing machines. Positioned behind the upper control panel, it manages critical operations including fill cycles, washing, spinning, and draining processes. Factors like electrical surges, intense heat, or moisture exposure may damage the control board. A malfunctioning board could lead to skipped cycles or complete operation failure of the washer. To diagnose a fault, use a voltage tester to check the control panel's condition.
Prior to installation, ensure the washing machine is unplugged. Shift the appliance away from the wall to access the rear of the control panel. Detach the screws that hold the main control panel in place, disconnect the existing control board from its wire harnesses and mountings, and proceed with installing the replacement control board. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is suitable for Whirlpool and its affiliated brands' washing machines. Please be aware that additional hardware is not included in the package.
