Parts for Whirlpool WOS51EC7AB05: Control Panel Parts

This electronic control board is the appliance's brain, managing power to key components while executing your selected settings. Replacing a failed board restores normal operation, responsive controls, and reliable cycle timing across programmed functions.

• Interprets user inputs and runs stored programs while managing safety interlocks
• Switches onboard relays to power loads (motors, heaters, fans, valves) as required
• Monitors sensor and switch feedback to control performance and protect the system
• Common failure signs: won't power on or start, unresponsive controls/display, won't advance or stops mid-cycle, random beeping/flashing, or error codes

• Disconnect power at the breaker; turn off gas/water if your appliance uses them
• Use ESD protection; handle the board by the edges to avoid static damage
• Photograph and label all connectors; transfer any jumpers or mounting hardware from the original board
• After reassembly, restore power and run any model-specific diagnostic or calibration procedure per the service manual.

The Control Board is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It plays a vital role in regulating and monitoring all electrical operations of the oven, such as activating heating elements, running fans and motors, and managing temperature settings. 

Causes of a bad control board can include exposure to electrical surges, moisture damage from steam cleaning over many uses, or something as simple as a loose connection point. Control boards are also susceptible to wearing out faster in hard water areas.

Symptoms of a bad control board include:

• The oven not heating up properly or preheating slowly
• Inaccurate temperature readings 
• Failure to maintain set temperatures
• Lights or timers not functioning correctly
• Random or unexpected shutting off during use

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

When the oven reaches an unsafe temperature, the thermal fuse cuts off power to the heating elements, ensuring the appliance does not overheat and cause potential damage or fire hazards.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include frequent overheating, electrical issues, or normal wear and tear over time. These factors can lead to the fuse blowing or becoming ineffective, compromising the safety and functionality of the oven.

Symptoms of a bad Thermal Fuse include:

• The oven not heating up
• The oven shutting off unexpectedly
• No power to the oven's heating elements
• Error codes related to overheating or temperature control
