Customer Questions and Answers for Central Control Unit (Ccu) by Whirlpool

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part

By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18035481
Manufacturer Part Number: WP8182689

This OEM replacement part is a control board for washers. The control board is the main computer that sends signals to the washer to perform its essential functions. If the washer is no longer turning on, spinning, rinsing or draining properly, this could mean that the control board needs to be replaced. Luckily this is a relatively simple repair. To begin, start by shutting off all power to the appliance. Proceed to move the washer away from the wall to gain access to the upper back panel. Remove the upper back panel and locate the old control board. Pull it out of its mounted position and take note of the orientation of the wires attached to the old board. Reinsert the wire harness and individual wire into their correct terminals on the new board. Snap the board back into place and reinstall the upper back panel. This genuine replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brand washers.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Central Control Unit (Ccu) (Part Number: OEM18035481)

1 Answer

Hello Gman, if you run the service test and at C:04 the drum should be rotating, also the lower front service panel has to be in place or hold in the safety grounding switch it presses on otherwise motor operation is disabled for safety. If still no drum rotation then the MCU has failed. It is part W10756692.

Hello Joseph. Check the wiring harness coming to the switch. Sometimes the wires will break at the connectors.

Hello Benie, This is usually caused by a loose connection but can also be caused by either or both board. The tech sheet instructs the following: 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Check wire harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU). 3. Check the drive system for any worn or failed components. 4. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 5. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle. 6. Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor. 7. Check the drive motor for powered rotations. 8. Check that the serial harness at the MCU is not mounted upside down. The wires should be to the left when facing the MCU connectors.

Whitey, First check the "line Filter" WPW10367632. power enters the filter from the receptacle, then through the line filter. and then the CCU. If you have power out of the line filter, then replace the CCU WP8182695.

Hello Charlie. If the lock is new, and your sure the harness is good, then it has to be the CCU.
