The Phase Control Board is an OEM part for Whirlpool mixers. It regulates the mixer's motor speed by controlling the electrical current flowing to the motor, ensuring precise speed settings and smooth operation. This board is essential for achieving consistent mixing results and handling various mixing tasks effectively.
Causes of a bad phase control board can include electrical surges, wear and tear from regular use, or component failure due to overheating. A faulty control board can lead to inconsistent speeds, affecting the mixer's performance and potentially damaging the motor.
Symptoms of a bad phase control board include:
- Inconsistent or erratic mixer speeds
- Mixer not starting or stopping unexpectedly
- Unusual noises or burning smells during operation
- Mixer operating at only one speed regardless of setting
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
Note: This is the 120-volt phase control board. For the 240-volt board use W11174552.
