Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Control Board (Part Number: OEM18021552)

1 Answer

Nick, in regards to the thumping, it would be recommended that the source of the noise (or a more specific location of where it is coming from) be found as this will allow more accurate information to be presented. In regards to the fan chirping, the control would be the cause of failure only if the chirping is coming from the control WP2307037 (part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available). If it is coming directly from the fan, the fan motor W11671461 would be the issue.

Sang, We would need to have the model number of your product to be able to determine if there is programming necessary. This does not look like a board that would need to be programmed.

Luis, With the defrost thermostat having been replaced and the heater being good, this would indicate a faulty control board which is part number W10219463. Unfortunately, this has been discontinued by the manufacturer with no suitable replacement available. You could try to have this board rebuilt, which there is a company called Corecentricsolutions.com that you could try.

Steve, with the power cord unplugged, the light cover would need to be removed to access two screws that keep the control housing in place. Once the screws are removed, the panel would pull forward, and then it can be pulled downward. The control will have lock tabs keeping it in place that can be pressed outward while lifting up on the control.

Denise for Model Number KSCS23INSS01

I was changing the BOTTOM light socket and the wires shorted out that caused blanking out the control unit , ice/water dispenser and all other lights not to work. Although the freezer and fridge is still cooling. I've ordered replacement part WP2307037 but I'm not sure how to safely remove the control panel housing at the top of the fridge. I can only see 2 screws for the light sockets. There are 4 small "holes/sockets" in the housing but the size or type of screw is not visible. How do i remove the housing and what type/size screwdriver do I need?

1 Answer

Hello Dennis, the manufacturer has no service information on this model for accessing that upper housing, however, typically the screws are either a #2 Philips or 1\4" hex head. However, the problem you are having is not related to that (user interface) board, when the short occurred it damaged the door sensing circuit in the main control board located under the ref cabinet, the original board is no longer available and the manufacturer has a service replacement board kit (with instructions) which adapts it to fit several ref models, that control board is part W10823804.
