Customer Questions and Answers for Phase Control Board (Surface Element Power Module) by Whirlpool

This phase control board is the power module that drives designated surface elements on compatible cooktops. It regulates power and communicates with the main control to deliver steady heat, restoring proper heating performance when the original module fails. What it does:

• Regulates and supplies power to assigned surface heating zones
• Communicates with the main/user interface control to execute heat settings
• Helps monitor fault conditions to protect the circuit
• Typical symptoms: one or more surface elements won't heat, intermittent heating, or the unit powers on but doesn't heat those zones

• One electronic control board

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Use ESD protection; avoid touching component leads and solder joints
• On models with multiple phase boards, confirm the correct board position for your unit
• Label and transfer all connectors; secure the board per the service manual and test each surface element after reassembly
