Parts for Whirlpool WRX988SIBB01: 09 - Dispenser Front Parts

The Control Board is an OEM part specifically for the ice dispenser function found on some Whirlpool refrigerators. Featuring precise circuitry and electronic components housed in a protective casing, this board monitors ice production and controls dispensing operations through interaction with the user interface. 

Causes of issues may include failure of sensitive ice maker components over time, water infiltration affecting electrical circuits, or power surges disturbing board function.

Symptoms of a bad control board can include:

• Inability to dispense crushed or cubed ice  
• Ice maker failing to recognize ice bucket or dispense requests
• Error codes displayed for ice maker malfunctions
• Repeated icemaker failures post-repair affecting components

This OEM replacement ensures the ice dispenser restores convenient ice access through the refrigerator door. Compatible models include KitchenAid, Maytag, and select Kenmore French door refrigerator units.
