For Whirlpool Electronic Control Board (Part Number: OEM18040017)

1 Answer

Alina, The WP8564543 control board is the correct part number for the model number you supplied. The control board has been re configured by the manufacturer " Per Factory This Sub Should Only Have 3 Terminals. The P4(Y)Terminal Which Was On The Oriiginal Control Has Been Removed and Not Used On This Control" If you havee the P4 yellow wire in the wiring harness to the control, it will not be connected to the control board, you'll want to turn it and tape it to the wiring harness so it is not dangling in the control panel.

Hello M.B.,

The fuse is a separate part and has to be ordered separately. I would provide a part number but cannot look it up without your model number.

Scott for Model Number Whirlpool GU1200XTLS2

My DW lost its mind. It will occasionally allow an Hi-Temp Scour / Air Dry / Hi-Temp Scour / Air Dry / Hi-Temp Scour reset and begin to act right, but then it will light up the Sani Rinse and Washing light and run doing something but nothing sensical. If I press the cancel button everything stops, but later on it randomly starts back up in that endless Sani Rinse mode. I disconnected and reseated all the connectors on the control board. Thought that fixed it but it fell right back into its insanity after running in the Normal wash mode for almost the whole cycle. Control Board? Thanks.

Scott, You most likely have a faulty keypad assembly WP8534833. since you reset the control and the issue returned, start at the control panel/keypad assembly. display lights that are irratic, or illuminate on their own, indicate an issue in the pad itself, or the ribbon is shorted.

Hello Henry,

You will want to check the float switch to make sure that the float is not out of place or stuck in the up position. If it checks ok you can do a continuity check. When the float switch is not being pushed then it is open and should not have continuity. When you push button you should have continuity. No continuity with switch pushed meas that the switch is bad and needs to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Greg,

There are a few things you need to check before ordering parts. First remove the kick panel at the bottom of the unit. With the power to the unit turned off, remove the power connection cover/box. This is the box that contains the wire nut connections. You need to verify polarity and 120Vac. By polarity I am referring to the hot wire, neutral return, and ground. If the hot wire and neutral are swapped, this can cause all sorts of issues including premature control board failure and program deviations. also, it is important that neutral and ground are not crossed. If this all checks good, replace the control board WP8564543.

Kara, If you are having an issue with the P4 connector, this is normal." Per Factory, This Sub Should Only Have 3 Terminals The P4(Y)
Terminal Which Was On The Oriiginal Control Has Been Removed And Not Used On This Control." You'll need to tape off the end of the connector(for safety reasons) and tape or wire tie the wiring the a safe, clear area of the remaining wire harness.

Hello Bill. Disconnect the power to the unit. Open the door and remove the screws securing the inner door panel. Remove the door panel. Now you can access the control board. Remove the thermal fuse from the unit and all the wires. Next remove the control and housing and install the new board WP8564543 in reverse order.
