Customer Questions and Answers for Gas Valve by Whirlpool

Hello Jan, The first thing I would do is chase the entire wiring harness to ensure no wires can contact one another. Since the control is popping the wrong fault code, I suspect that if no cross circuits are possible in the harness, the controls' self-diagnostic circuit is mal-functioning. The most common cause for control failure is corrosion on connectors. Therefore, disconnecting and reconnecting wires will be necessary throughout test procedures. Check all connections before replacing components, looking for broken or loose wires, failed terminals, or wires not pressed into connectors far enough. It may not be necessary to replace the control since the unit seems to operate correctly unit a code comes up but the issue can progress and get worse with time.
