How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6016601 / WPW10189966 Control Board

Did test 3. I first replaced the stator because there were cracks in the plastic. Still error F50. Replaced the wiring harness and the sensor and top plate because it only comes in a kit and the connection to the sensor had changed so you have to use the kit and change it all out. Spent many hours taking this machine apart and checking connections and testing and retesting... still F50 error code. Changed out the control board next... took all of 10 min, woo-hoo!! it worked. It's not worth my time to switch back the kit and return it and the stator was cracked in four places anyway, I had already replaced the bearing and seal two months earlier so I hope it will be trouble free for many years now. I would say that the hardest part in the repair was having to remove the one elbow hose to get the wiring harness out and new one in through the correct way...have something to catch the water. I hate that type of clamp and it is a challenge to do it even with channel lock pliers. Make sure you have it back together correctly or it will leak. Patience Grasshopper! 

Unplugged washing machine from the electrical outlet, removed the rear panel, then partially removed the drain pump (I left the wiring connected so I could check operation of the pump). Plugged electrical cord back in and checked pump operation - all seemed to be working fine. Reinstalled the pump, then removed the console to check the electronic control board. Used an ohm meter and checked wiring continuity from control board to pump - checked good. Ordered the electronic control board for replacement and it arrived just 2 days after placing my order. Removed the old control board, installed the new one. Reinstalled the console and everything checked good! Washing machine back in full operation! 

Watched video on your website for replacing electronic control board. Ordered control board , board arrived 2 days later....replaced control board ( took less than 20 min)....too easy.... 

Washer had multiple codes popping up when purchased used. First thing found the basket was jammed throwing out of balance code removed article of clothing that was stuck between the basket and cleaned the contact areas so the basket would float then replaced the suspension rods then still kept getting the f code for the control board so replaced that has been working perfect so far time total for all repairs done in stages about 2 hours mostly on freeing up the basket. Rods took about 20 min. Control board took about 5 min. PS. The technician sheet is taped under the top on front panel has all the diagnostic steps and codes. 

Got control board P/N W10189966 from Appliance Parts Pros and it took me less than half hour to replace the control board with new. My washer had P/N W10130544. P/N W10189966 replaces P/N W10130544. Once I replaced the control board, I tested the washer with couple of loads of Laundry and it worked without any error codes. Thanks. Vijay DUggal 

I googled the error and it said the electronic control board needed to bo replaced. I searched AppliancePartsPro.com and after inputting my washing machine model, I was able to find the part. On the site there was a video showing how to replace the part... so I ordered the part and replaced it in my machine by following the video... It was awesome... and now my washing machine is working perfectly again. I love AppliancePartsPro.com Also... the part arrived the next day even though it said it would take two days to arrive. This is the best site I have found for locating appliance parts...????
