The Cntrl-Elec is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This electronic control board regulates and monitors the various cycles and functions of the washer.
The Cntrl-Elec allows for controlled movement throughout each cycle, making sure you have proper agitation, washing, rinsing, and spinning. It also monitors water levels, cycle times, temperature settings, and more to facilitate effective cleaning of clothes load after load.
Causes of a controller failure can be due to circuitry damage from water intrusion, wear and tear over time, or failures in electrical components like microchips, sensors, and wiring.
Symptoms of a bad controller include:
- Cycles not completing
- Failures to advance through wash stages
- Prolonged or stuck cycles
- Incorrect temperature readings
- Error codes displayed.
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
