Customer Questions and Answers for Main Control Board by Whirlpool

Hello Jessie, Most of the time the problem you are encountering is either because of waiting too long between keystrokes or simply a misinterpretation of the keys to be pressed. The tech sheet says to do it this way, and it cannot be done any other way if it is to work properly: Programming Mode: NOTE: The Program Code is located on the Serial Plate on this unit after the word Code. 1. Press and hold the Door Alarm Keypad DoorAlarm. 2. Press and hold Freezer Temperature Down Keypad. 3. Release the Door Alarm Keypad DoorAlarm and wait 3 seconds. 4. The control will display PE to indicate the programming mode. 5. Entry is confirmed by pressing the Freezer Temperature Down Keypad once more. 6. The control will display the current Program CODE. This value should be validated with the Program CODE printed on the unit serial plate. NOTE: If the Program CODE is correct, the Programming Mode is exited by pressing Door Alarm Keypad for 3 seconds. 7. Press the Refrigerator Temperature UP Keypad or Refrigerator Down Keypad to change the digit value with each keypress. 8. The decimal point indicates the selected digit. Press the Freezer Temperature UP Keypad to select the next digit. 9. Once the desired Program CODE is entered, press and hold the Freezer Temperature DOWN Keypad until the Program CODE begins flashing indicating it has been saved. NOTE: If you attempt to enter an invalid Program CODE the control will not save the new code, but will beep. (The unit will NOT run with a Program CODE of 0000).Once the Program CODE has been saved the Programming Mode is exited by pressing any key. If the new code is incorrect this process should be repeated. The Programming mode can be exited at any time by pressing the Door Alarm key for 3 seconds or will exit if unattended for four minutes.
