Leah, a model number of the dryer would be a big help but, no the WPW10174746 Elec. Control Board and the WPW10174745 Electronic Control Board are not interchangeable. The control boards are specific to certain model numbers of dryers. Thanks,

Derric for Model Number WGD9600TW1

I got the F01 error on my dryer. I looked up the issue and found it was the control board. The part I was told to get was w10174745 as it replaced the older W10182365. However, upon receiving the part and going through installation, the new board is missing a fuse of some kind (RF334012 on the old board) leaving me with an extra unplugged wire. What does this wire do and is it something I need or will everything be fine without it plugged in? Please help.

1 Answer

Alex, the wire connector for the valve at the control board should pull off from the terminals.

Joshua for Model Number MEDE300VW1

my dryer is reading code F01. i tried unplugging machine for a while and and didnt solve the problem. I believe i need a control board as my research indicated. my question is regarding two similar part numbers for the control board. The Part i need is WPW10174745. Im not sure what the "PW" in the part number stands for. it is a fairly expensive part over $300. when i search on amazon for this part, a similar part number comes up(W10174745). Omitting the "PW" in the part number. It says it is compatible with my model number. Also is about $100 less. My question is wheather the less expensive part will work or if i need the WPW part number? Thank you

Hello Joshua, the main control board for your model is W10174745, the additional prefix WP has been added by the manufacturer on some of their part numbers but it is the same part with or without the prefix.

Hello Lester, There should be an indication as to which way to plug the connectors in, even if this is by looking at the tech sheet to see which color wire goes to the end where a small "1" is printed indicating pin number 1. I'm sorry but without the model number, we are unable to get specific. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Mojdeh, the new control WPW10174745 for your model is a manufacturer direct replacement part and will have specific connections designed to only allow a certain wire set to be plugged into each port. The two that are plugged in through the outer shell would be plugged in with the wires facing towards the front of the assembly.

Joe, the correct control for your model is [WPW10174745] based on the parts diagram for your model. As far as the difference between the two, it could be a software difference, layout difference, or even the parts used to make it could have differences. In regards to the actual differences, this would be a question that only the manufacturer would really have all the information on.

Hello JoAnna, Since there is no model number provided we cannot check to make sure the part is compatible as per the manufacturer for the model in your home. Also, many times the wiring may plug into a different location on a replacement board. For a more detailed determination please post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag so we can recommend parts that can be guaranteed to work properly on your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
