Parts for Whirlpool WRT312CZJW00: Shelf Parts

Body control is the appliance's main console control board that interprets user inputs and directs functions; replacing this board restores reliable control when the console is unresponsive, erratic, or fails to start selected cycles. What it does:

• Interprets button and touchpad commands and sends control signals to appliance components.
• Starts and stops cycles by signaling motors, heaters, valves, or other subsystems.
• Can cause unresponsive controls, no-start conditions, or erratic cycle behavior when failing.
• May result in blank or intermittent display and unexpected shutdowns.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the board by its edges and use electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when possible.
• Confirm wiring harness connectors are fully seated and match the board before powering up.
