The Control Board is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. As the central processing unit, the control board orchestrates each cycle by coordinating motor, pump, heater and other component functions. It monitors cycle progression, temperatures and safety features.
Causes can be circuitry damage from power surges, water damage or normal component wear over time. Control boards experience constant usage with each cycle.
Symptoms of a bad control board include:
- The dishwasher not starting or powering on properly
- Inoperable or unresponsive buttons/controls
- Inability to advance through wash cycles
- Error codes displayed
- Cycle functions become intermittent
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
