Whirlpool WPW10207861 Electronic Control Board OEM Part

We turned off the circuit breaker. We then removed the light cover and then the control panel. We disconnected the Keyboard, Utah, plugged in the new one and turned the breaker on to see if everything worked. We realized that we did not need a new jazz board so that is being returned. The old Keyboard was removed, the new one attached and all the parts were put back. The frig works fine now at the recommended settings of zero and 38F.

The refrigerator was warm but the freezer was cold. Turn off the refrigerator for 24 hours. Plugged the refrigerator back in, the compressor was not kicking on but the condenser fan and evaporator fan were running. Pulled start relay, measured between two bottom points found Open.. replaced start relay and capacitor and compressor stared immediately and everything worked normally.

After consulting with your expert we decided to replace the circuit board. The part was promptly delivered but because it is common to a number of different units it did not come with specific instructions. After reviewing the control parts diagrams we decided that all the parts leading to the circuit board were held in by clips. That was correct but we had a hard time getting all to release. We did so with a flat edge screwdriver. That took about a half hour because we were being extra careful not to break any. Once we got to the board it was easy to unplug it and install the new one. Putting the housing etc back together only took about 5 minutes. We then plugged the refrig back in and after a period of time the temp reset to the 38 degrees it is supposed to operate at and the water dispenser resumed operations.

Service repair man advised it was the electronic control circuit board.

Simple to replace the electronic control board. The hardest part was trying to find where it was hidden. Once I got the panel open, it was a 10-minute job with just a screwdriver. The part cost me less than $200. A repairman quoted me around $800 for the fix. I almost spent $2000 on a new frig. Glad I did it myself.
