Customer Questions and Answers for Control Board by Whirlpool

The Control Board is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool upright freezers. Located inside the freezer compartment, it centrally regulates all freezing functions including fan speed and temperature levels.

Causes of a bad control board include moisture infiltration into its sensitive circuitry over many freeze/thaw cycles. General component wear from constant use also takes a toll.

Symptoms of a bad control board include: 

• Fluctuating interior temperatures
• Inability to lower temperature set points
• Fan running continuously without pause
• Cycling compressor even when unneeded

This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, and Kenmore upright freezer models.
