The Power Control Board is an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an essential electronic component responsible for monitoring and regulating power distribution throughout the entire unit. The power control board controls components such as cooling fans, compressors, lights, ice makers, and more.

Symptoms of a bad power control board include: 

• Lights, fans, or other components failing to turn on
• Inability to adjust temperature settings  
• Constant tripping of circuit breakers
• Error codes displayed that cannot be cleared

Causes of failure include moisture damage, component breakdown over time, or power surges that can fry circuitry.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located inside the machine compartment, it powers the condenser fan needed for heat exchange.
