For Whirlpool Electronic Control Board (Part Number: OEM18048036)

Larry for Model Number GI5FSAXVY02

Two nights ago the control display blinked on and off several times then stopped working as did the compressor. Whenever I would press a button on the control panel everything would light up but would go off as soon as I released the button. When the water/ice dispenser is pressed a continuous beep sounds. All the lights inside the fridge work. This morning for a brief moment I noticed the display of freezer and fridge temp blink on and off, but nothing after. I unplugged the fridge for 5 min. to see if it may reset, but it did nothing. Is there any more I can do to troubleshoot?

Matt for Model Number GI5SVAXVL01

Hello, this is a "new to me" model that is 3 years old. when I press the temp + button there is often no response but the temp - button works fine. I am also unable to easily switch between ice and water dispensing. If I single press then long press the temp + button it will sometimes go up and then work as expected with + - working with single presses. I am experiencing the same with water selection in that a single press followed by oong press with switch it and then the button will function on single presses. However, this sewuence only works intermittently and almost seems to need a cool down period between uses before it will function normally again. Any idea on what the issue may be?

Hello Ryan, This is most likely the H.V. Control Board WPW10310240. There is a possibility that the issue is the L.V. Board WPW10162500 but it is not as likely since it gets its' power from the High Voltage Control Board.

Hello Josh. You need to see if there is power to the dispenser board. If not, you will need to order and replace the HV board WPW10310240 on the unit.

Stephanie for Model Number GI5SVAXVL01

The Dispenser Keyboard is not fully working on my refrigerator, and we are getting ready to order a replacement, along with a control board. I am also having trouble with ice in the bottom of the freezer and water in the floor which I understand is likely coming from the drain plug being clogged with ice. My question - does the control board "control" the defrost cycles of the freezer also? I ask because I know that you can force a defrost cycle from the dispenser keyboard. Thanks!

1 Answer

Stephanie, Yes, the main control board will control the defrost cycle of the unit. For the issue with the drain being clogged you will want to get part number W10619951 which is for the issue that you are having with the ice on the floor in the freezer.

Taylor, With the dispenser not working and the switches having already been replaced, this issue would most likely be caused by a faulty main control board WPW10310240.
