Whirlpool Main Control Board Kit 8201673 OEM Part

This kit includes a white electronic control board with a touchpad, designed for use with select Whirlpool brand refrigerators such as those by Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. It is also suitable for models offered by Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

The control board plays a vital role in regulating the refrigerator’s operations, including temperature settings, defrost cycles, and other key functions. If the control board malfunctions, it may cause the refrigerator to fail in maintaining the desired temperature, potentially resulting in continuous compressor operation or failure to start.

To replace the control board, first disconnect the refrigerator from power. During installation, it's recommended to relocate perishable food items to another cooling unit. Begin by detaching the wire harness and mounting screws from the current control panel, then install the new board.

This product is an authentic OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility with the specified Whirlpool refrigerators. Please be aware that the kit is provided as a standalone part and does not include any additional hardware.
