Customer Questions and Answers for Electronic Control Board by Whirlpool

This electronic control board is the appliance's central controller. It interprets user inputs and sensor feedback to run cycles and coordinate components. Replacing a failed board can restore proper operation and responsive controls. What it does:

• Manages the timing and sequence of operations based on selected settings
• Interprets signals from the user interface and internal sensors
• Directs power to components via onboard electronics
• Monitors system status and may store/output diagnostic error codes
• Common failure symptoms: won't start, unresponsive or blank display, stuck/erratic cycles, or recurring error codes after a power reset

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Use ESD protection and handle the PCB by edges only
• Photograph/label connectors and move them one at a time to the new board to prevent miswiring
• Inspect wiring, fuses, and related components for shorts or damage and correct any root cause before powering the new board; follow the unit's tech sheet for any required post-install setup
