Whirlpool is a manufacturer that operates several recognized brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, they supply products for both Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among these offerings is an authentic OEM main control board, crafted specifically for Whirlpool dishwashers. This component is essential for managing the dishwasher's core operations. If you experience issues such as the appliance not powering on or not draining as it should, it may be necessary to replace the control board.
To install a new control board, please follow the instructions below:
1. Detach the outer door panel by removing the screws that hold it in place.
2. Elevate the control panel and unplug the wire touchpad harness from the existing control board.
3. With a flathead screwdriver, release the locking tab and slide the control board housing left to detach it from its position.
4. Carefully remove the wire covers and remember the layout of the wire connectors before disconnecting them.
5. Connect the wire connectors to the corresponding terminals on the new control board.
6. Ensure the wire covers are properly aligned and secure them.
7. Fit the tabs of the control board housing into the slots of the mounting bracket, sliding it right to secure it.
8. Reattach the control panel by linking the control pad wire harness to the new board.
9. Align the panel correctly and reinsert the mounting screws to fasten it securely.
This replacement control board is compatible with various dishwasher models from brands like Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Sears, and Kenmore.
