Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Electronic Control Board (Part Number: OEM18051831)

1 Answer

Hi Dave. If you have already verified the correct 120 vac from the switch to the control board and there is no reaction, then you will need to check to see if the float switch is being activated correctly by the float stem resting on the float switch. Is the switch sending 120 vac to the water valve? Some times the float stem will come off the switch or the water valve screen gets plugged or the water valve solenoid does not open. Water valve is part # W11082871. The control board is part # WPW10218837 if you do not get 120 vac out to the water valve. Thank you.

Kurt, Do not start with the control board, it's the lesser of the possible problem. You're more likely issue is in the control panel keypad assembly 6-919844 . After a few years of wear & tear, and usage the circuit for the keypad and the membrane assembly weaken and starts to fail. Good Luck, and Thanks

Mike S. for Model Number MDB5601AWB 37165752NA

I think the control board has gone bad. Unit is a bit over 3 years old. When door is open, three panel lights flash: normal wash, start/cancel, and hi temp wash. Close door and lights stay on without flashing. Sounds like pump is running continuously and the heater is on. Start/cancel does not reset. Flipping the breaker off for 10 minutes then on does not reset. It ran for at least 30 minutes before I discovered it having a problem. Is it also possible that the pump or heater may have suffered damage?

Hello Mike. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control board 12002709 is bad and will need to be replaced. The pump and heater should be ok. You can test the heater W10283681 and see if it is good. It should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
