For Whirlpool Refrigerator Electronic Control Board (Part Number: OEM18057870)

Andrew for Model Number Kenmore 596.79543016

The aforementioned refrigerator is not running; however, when the doors are opened the internal lights are on. The compressor & compressor fan is not running. The compressor start relay has been checked & is serviceable. The front panel illuminates when the buttons for ice or water are pushed. There is 120 Vac at pin 4 of J1 & 12v DC between another test point that I referenced. Are there any other test points for this CB, which is W10312695 or WPW10312695 to verify that it is U/S, as it is my understanding that I am unable to return electronic components once purchased? Thank you, Andrew

Andrew, the cooling-off button can be pressed and held for 3 seconds to ensure that it may not have been pressed and held accidentally. The programming code will also need to be checked to ensure that it matches the code on the model/serial tag (correct if necessary) If this does not get voltage going to the fans and compressor, then the main control WPW10312695 would be the issue.

Hello Amar,
I'm sorry but we will need to ask you to post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag so we can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend parts that can be guaranteed to work properly on your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Phillip, unfortunately for any electronic part that is installed, it is not returnable. There would be a parts warranty for it if the part fails within the warranty period, but again the part once installed is not returnable.

Joe,the control board you have is the correct part for your model,if you are following the programming steps as per the tech sheet that came with your ref they are the correct steps.The difficulty you are having is not that uncommon a complaint.The control board is somewhat sensitive to the speed the keypads are pressed/held/released, ( WATER-LL-WATER) when entering the beginning of the program mode.If you are reading the steps then pressing the keys one at a time you are likely taking too long. Try to press/hold/release the the keys smoothly no more then about a half a second part .Once you have the PE showing in the display the control board allow more time on the keypad presses.If your tech sheet shows different keypad steps then if you will supply your email address we can send you the correct tech sheet for your model.

Jason, your post description and the wiring diagram would indicate the WPW10312695 / WPW10312695 Electronic Control Board, on the back of the refrigerator would be the issue. The interior lights are a direct link to the power cord(so you have 120 VAC into the refrigerator). The power to all the other components is routed through the main control board. Check for 120 VAC into the main board at connector J1/pin 4 red wire, if you have the voltage replace the board.

Terrance, I would verify that the code is properly entered by following the programming mode instructions again to make sure the code was entered correctly. If it was entered correctly, all fans and compressors will come on and the proper code will be displayed.

Brian, press and hold the WATER keypad, continue hoding the water keypad and then press LL keypad. Release the WATER keypad and wait 3 seconds. You then should get the PE display. Press LL to confirm, add your programming code that is on the model number label. Confirm by pressing the WATER for 3 seconds and it should return to normal operation.
