Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Control Board (Part Number: OEM18039438)

1 Answer

Stan, With the unit completely shutting down you will want to check to make sure that the connections at the terminal block are not damaged and there are no loose connections. If this checks ok then the issue sounds like it would be caused by a faulty control board.

Dio for Model Number GEW9200LW1

I have no error codes and all of the lights come on in the front panel. The dryer doesnt start, I here a beep when I try to start it but it doesn't start. I did the trouble shooting steps 1 and step 2. The ground cable has continuity, the p1-3 and p1-4 have an ohm reading of 2, the quick ref states to "replace the machine control electronics" or control board. Can I count on that being the problem? I am going right off the tech sheet. Please help

1 Answer

Dio, The main control board will most likely be the cause of the issue, especially if you did the testing and the control board is what is stating needs replaced.

Liquid Shadow for Model Number GEW9250PW1

My dryer trouble started with the timer numbers flashing and the following LEDs lit up, sensing; timed dry; and low temp. I tried pulling the power cord and when plugged back in it is now flashing PF for power failure. All buttons and functions are locked and do not do anything. I folllowed the diagnostics to test the power cord and continuity to the control board. I also checked the fuse and it was ok. Would this be a faulty control board, or could you give me suggestions on what else should be tested? Model #GEW9250PW1

1 Answer

Liquid shadow, If you push the cancel button and the PF remains then the issue will be in the control board which is part number WP8546219.

Mark for Model Number GEW9250PW0

I have a problem with the dryer not coming on when pressing the 'Control On' button. I can turn the rotary dial and get the control to come on that way, and the dryer will work for a load and then become unresponsive or just start when closing the door until I unplug it for a while and then it will work again. I have gone through the diagnostic tests and all lights work and buttons test correctly according the diagnostic chart using a DVM. The diagnostic test instructions for the dial seems incorrect. I substituted P3 where it listed P1. I get different ohm values than on the chart on some switch positions, but I get infinity(open circuit) exactly as indicated on the chart. My question is: Is it the interface or the control board?

Hello Ray. If only half the lights works, it sounds like the board is bad and will need to be replaced.

Hello Nick, You will most likely need to replace the relay board WP8546219. This is the board that mounts beneath the main top. The other board in the control panel is considered the user interface.
