Shut off the power before removing the top panel to access the electronic control board. Use the screwdriver to remove it so the new part can be installed.

For Whirlpool Dryer Control Board (Part Number: OEM18045195)

Stu July 12, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore Elite HE5

My Kenmore HE5 is blowing air but not hot. I have checked for lint blockage and all is clear. Most times when powering up the dryer light will blink a lot then all power turns off. I can unplug and re-plug in and pattern will repeat. If I wait it will stay on and start buy won't dry. Odd problem. Should I change the circuit board?

Hello Stu, I'm sorry but we will need to ask you to post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag so we can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend parts that can be guaranteed to work properly on your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Dave April 15, 2019 for Model Number 11087088601

my kenmore dryer blows thermal fuses.The outlet thermistor registors about 3 ohms below specs,also the heating element is about half burned out. The heating element comes on in the air flow or fluff cycle. Any ideas

1 Answer

Dave, It is possible that the heater relay on your control is stuck closed or the centrifugal switch is stuck closed not allowing the heater to turn off or your element has grounded to the casing and heats anytime the dryer is running. Test the terminals at the element to the heater housing and if you have continuity the heater needs replaced.

Victor November 16, 2018 for Model Number 110.87561603 Kenmore Elite

Replaced main control board, it was obviously blown. All control lights came on but nothing else. What else could be problem?

1 Answer

Hello Victor, You should first check the wiring to the door switch WPW10318609 since this would cause the issue. You should also check the belt switch 279782 and the thermal fuse WP3392519. I'm sorry but this part WPW10318609 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Carolina December 14, 2017 for Model Number WED9200SQ0

Hello, I know that I need a new WPW10110641 control board because of the F01 error. I called a local appliance parts store and they said I will need to buy a new core unless I can bring the old one in when I buy the new one. What is the core? If I buy this part from you does it include a core? Or do I reuse the old one? Thanks for your help!
