The Control Board is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It manages and coordinates various functions of the refrigerator, including temperature regulation, defrost cycles, and the operation of fans and compressors.
Causes of a bad control board can include electrical surges, exposure to moisture, or component failures over time. A faulty control board can disrupt the refrigerator's ability to maintain the correct temperature, leading to food spoilage and inefficient operation.
Symptoms of a bad control board include:
- Inconsistent temperatures within the refrigerator
- The refrigerator not cooling or freezing properly
- The unit not responding to temperature adjustments
- Display or control panel malfunctions
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
