The Main Control Board is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It serves as the central processing and monitoring unit that oversees vital fridge functions. The control board regulates components like the compressor, fans, lights, ice maker, and dispenser based on sensor temperature feedback.
Causes of a bad control board can include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or exposure to moisture, which can interfere with its electronic components.
Symptoms of a bad fridge main control board include:
- The refrigerator not cooling properly
- The compressor or fans not running
- Display errors or malfunctioning indicator lights
- The refrigerator running continuously or not cycling on and off as needed
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
