The subject of discussion here is a Whirlpool-designed Oven Control Board, integral to the operation of several brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool creates similar parts for labels like Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
This control board serves as the interface between user commands and the functional systems of the stove's burners and oven. It is worth noting that this component does not include a digital display or control buttons, as they belong to a separate module.
Located behind a protective metal cover on the stovetop, the board is shielded to some extent. However, it can still suffer from exposure to high temperatures and liquid spills, potentially impairing its performance over time. Typical indicators of a faulty control board include inactive heating elements or a completely non-functional stovetop.
In the event these problems occur, it is necessary to replace the control board. The replacement requires disconnecting the power supply, removing the metal cover to access the board, followed by detaching the old board through unscrewing and disconnecting the wiring harness.
This part is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) product, sold individually, and it fits both KitchenAid and Whirlpool stovetops.
