Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Washer Motor Control Board (Part Number: OEM18035616)

Von for Model Number Whirlpool Duet Ht WFW9400ST00

Hi Guys, another question: I don't have a multimeter and I don't live in the US. Is there another way to check the CCU or MCU? I followed some instructions to run a diagnostic test which also showed the F28 error - it locked the door, a little water tcame in, then after a while the error code displayed. Does running the diagnostic mean that the CCU works? I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate either the CCU or MCU because I don't want to have to buy both parts! Thanks for your help!

Hello Von. Only other way is to buy the parts one at a time and see which one clears the code. Sorry, no other way without the meter.

Rhene, You will want to check the harness to make sure that they are good. It would be most likely the main control board that is the problem if the connections are good and the connectors are clean.

Hello John. Sorry, the manufacture does not offer that information or sell parts for the boards. You will need to replace the control board on the unit.

Hello Mieczyslaw, You will first want to check the drain to make sure that there is nothing clogged in it. This would include from the bottom of tub, through the drain pump and out the back of unit. Any restrictions will cause the unit to not spin properly. Check the vanes on the drain pump to make sure that they are not damaged or broken.

Scott, You're correct, this will be difficult finding parts, and serice information. The model number you supplied is incorrect. If this is a Whirlpool built washer, the model number should start wit 110.*********. Based on the part you listed, and your post description the "F11" error code indicates a communication error between the MCU and the CCU. Check the wiring harness between the motor and the MCU, between the MCU and the CCU, Mkae sure there are no loose connections or bent,damaged pins on the boards. If all's OK, replace the MCU WP8183196.

Hello Bob, The "SUDS" error can be caused by too much detergent, improper detergent, a drain pump/drain line problem (clogged), or pressure switch malfunction. 1. These washers are designed to use High Efficiency detergent which is formulated for wash tubs that use 5 to 7 gallons of water since it is low sudsing. If you are using the correct detergent, double check the label to make sure it is not double (2X) or triple (3X) concentrated. You could still be placing too much soap in your wash. To get rid of excessive detergent, place the washer on a RINSE & SPIN cycle with one tablespoon of corn oil or vegetable oil to kill the suds, and run it through a normal wash cycle with white vinegar to flush the vegetable oil from the unit. 2. If you do not have a detergent issue, double check the drain pump and drain lines to ensure they are not obstructed in any way. Obstructions in the drain pump and/or drain lines can attribute to air getting trapped in the drain pump and cause the error code. Double check all electrical connections to the drain pump and Central Control Unit (CCU). You will need to remove the top panel of the washer to access the CCU. This is accomplished by removing the three screws in the back of the washer that hold the top panel in place. With the screws removed, slide the panel back, then off. The CCU is located directly behind the wash tub in the center of the washer.
