Whirlpool WPW10312695 Refrigerator Electronic Control Board OEM Part

Given all the symptoms, we figured that the control board went out. First, unplug the refrigerator. The control board was easy to access by removing a panel on the back of the fridge. I unplugged all the connectors and used a putty knife to release the board from the plastic retaining clips. There was some browning on the underside of the board and the back of the refrigerator that suggests one of the capacitors on the board blew. Install the new board by pressing it into the retaining clips and reconnect everything. Then plug in the refrigerator. Replacing the board just took a couple minutes. We had to spent more time figuring out how to reprogram the board through the front panel. The board did not come with instructions, nor could we find the refigerator's data sheet. Instructions are not available in the refrigerator manual. We found some instructions online and eventually, we found a youtube video showing exactly how to program our model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnSg7edZbBo Here's how to program our model. If you find other online instructions, "LL" means the button to the lower left of the display. Similarly, "UL", "UR", and "LR" refer to the other 3 buttons. 1. Look at the serial number sticker inside your refrigerator. Mine says "Code 2213" 2. After installing the board and plugging it in, the display showed PE0 000 3. You enter the program mode by holding the water button, then holding the LL button (keep holding the water button!), then releasing the water button. the PE0 000 will start flashing and turn into PE0. 000 4. The "." indicates which digit is being modified. Use the UR and LR keys to change it to PE2. 000 5. Use the LL key to go to the next digit. Repeat until display says PE2 213. 6. Open and close the refrigerator door. You are done! Overall, the fix was easy and quick to do and way cheaper than getting a new fridge!

I replaced the electronic control board in the rear of the refrigerator easily accessible customer service was exceptional they emailed me the specification sheet which show the step by step process to program the fridge once board was installed they answered any questions I had very helpful able to do it myself without hiring a technician

Control board was very simple to replace (behind small panel in rear). Found instructions online for programming... entire repair was 15 minutes, ref works like new. Repair co. that I first called out charged me 139.00 to come out and tell me the ref was broken O.o Told me it would take 6-10 days to get the part, AFTER my approval of the estimate. I have called them three times, each time I was told they would call back with a price.. still no call back lol.

Front panel was blank but when you pushed any button, the front panel all flashed. Replaced the control board. The board was easy to get to, it is in the back and when the 4 screws are taken off a plastic cover was exposed. The circuit board had 4 easy connect connectors. I ordered the board from AppliancePartsPros.com..They had the board in stock and I overnighted the circuit board. It was delivered on time..I had to be careful when installing the board because static electricity could destroy the board. Make sure you ground your body to prevent this. I easily installed the board. AppliancePartsPros technician sent me an email showing how to program the front panel. MAKE SURE THE FRONT PANEL FLASHES PE0000. Then I programmed from the instructions. If the board stays lit without flashing then, unplug refrigerator for 30 minutes. If you put in wrong code wait 30 minutes to reset the code...The technician was very knowledgable. I had called Whirlpool before contacting AppliancePartsPros and they were clueless. Also if you read the Internet on this problem it occurs 1 to 5 years after being purchased.

After a few internet searches, I determined the frig outage was due to a failed main control board. I was able to find a compatible part from AppliancePartsPros.com. I confirmed the part was for my frig and in stock via their online chat portal. I ordered the part on a Saturday night and it arrived on Wednesday via their standard shipping option. I reviewed videos online on how to take out the old board and install the new board. I then found instructions online on how to reprogram the board from my frig model. After reprogramming, the firg was back in operation as if new and 3 days later so far so good.
