Kitchenaid Housing Or Cover

The Control Box is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located inside the refrigerator housing, the control box acts as the central command center, housing all of the electrical components that control operations. 

Causes of a bad control box can include moisture infiltration causing shorts, failing electronic modules, loose wiring connections, or damage from impact or falls. 

Symptoms of a bad control box include:

• Lights or dispensers that do not function properly  
• Failure to detect when doors are opened
• Inability to maintain set temperatures 
• Freezer that will not get cold enough
• Refrigerator sections that do not switch between cooling and defrost modes properly

This OEM Whirlpool replacement control box is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models. 

This control box is the appliance's main electronic control module that manages cycles, user controls and timed functions. Replacing a failed control box restores proper command and sequencing of the appliance's electrical operations. What it does:

• Receives input from user controls and sensors, then directs power to motors, valves and heaters
• Manages cycle timing, displays, and mode selection for normal operation
• Common symptom: appliance won't start, does not respond to controls, or displays control-related errors
• Replacing a malfunctioning control box can resolve intermittent operation, unresponsive buttons, or stuck cycles

• One control box (electronic control module) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Handle the control module by its edges and avoid touching circuit contacts to prevent static damage
• Verify connector locations and secure all wiring harnesses before reassembly

This wire cover is a protective sleeve that helps route and shield appliance wiring to reduce wear and prevent accidental contact. It restores a neater harness run and helps maintain safe electrical routing inside the appliance. What it does:

• Protects wires from abrasion and chafing against sharp edges or moving parts
• Helps prevent exposed conductors that can cause shorts, arcing, or burning smells
• Keeps wiring bundled and routed to reduce pinching and stress on connectors
• Reduces risk of intermittent electrical issues caused by damaged insulation

• Disconnect power before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding wiring and connectors for damage; replace any frayed or exposed wires
• Slide cover over the wiring harness or route harness through sleeve as needed; secure with existing clips or approved fasteners
