Description
The Main Control Board is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dryers. As the central electronic control unit, it is responsible for operating all of the dryer's major functions and components.
The main control board monitors the temperature, controls the drum motor and heating element, and features programmable settings that allow for customized cycles. It ensures reliable and efficient drying performance.
Symptoms of a faulty main control board include:
- The dryer not turning on or not operating functions
- Inaccurate temperature readings during cycles
- Preset cycles not working properly
- Random restarting or shutting off issues
Causes can include water damage, cracked solder joints, or component failure due to years of heat exposure and operating cycles.
This Whirlpool OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. Replacing the main control board can resolve numerous electrical and operational issues.
