The User Control and Display Board for the Whirlpool range is an OEM component designed to operate all control functions and digital displays. Housed in a protective casing, this board contains the sensitive electronic parts that allow the appliance’s control panel to interact with homeowners.

Symptoms of a bad control board may include failure of electronic components through time, water damage from leaks or condensation, or surges disrupting normal operation. 

Causes of issues include:

• Non-responsive touch controls   
• Glitchy or blank temperature displays
• Inability to select desired functions or settings
• Repeatedly shutting off between uses

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore ranges. Replacing a faulty board restores full functionality to the range’s easy-to-use control panel.

This electronic control board manages and coordinates appliance functions, restoring responsive controls and cycle operation when the original control fails. A direct replacement for the failed module to return normal electronic control to the unit. What it does:

• Replaces a faulty electronic control to restore command and timing between user controls and components
• Controls cycle selection, start/stop commands and power distribution to sensors and motors
• Common symptom resolution: unresponsive control panel, cycles won't start or complete, or intermittent operation
• Works only when the board and associated wiring/harness are the source of the problem

• One electronic control board (module) as pictured/packaged by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the board by the edges; avoid touching components or connector pins to prevent ESD damage

This thermal fuse is a one-time safety cutoff that stops heat when temperatures rise above safe limits, protecting the appliance from overheating. Replace a blown fuse to restore proper thermal protection and heating control. What it does:

• Opens the circuit to the heating element when overheating is detected to prevent unsafe temperatures.
• Common symptom: dryer runs but produces little or no heat.
• Can cause dryers to stop heating even though the motor and controls seem to work.
• Helps prevent thermal damage or fire by cutting power to the heater when needed.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the heating assembly.
• Replace with the exact OEM part; match terminals and mounting location.

This 10-32 terminal block nut fastens wire lugs to the appliance's terminal studs. Replacing a missing, stripped, or corroded nut restores a tight, reliable connection and helps prevent heat damage or intermittent power at the connection.

• Secures wire lugs to a 10-32 terminal stud for a solid electrical connection
• Restores proper clamping force when the original nut is stripped, corroded, or missing
• Helps address loose/burned terminal connections, heat discoloration, or intermittent power at the block
• Suitable for terminal block and similar 10-32 stud applications on compatible appliances

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Inspect the terminal block, studs, and wiring for heat damage; replace any damaged components
• Clean threads and start the nut by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten firmly without overtightening
• If the stud turns while tightening, hold it with an appropriate tool to protect the block
