The Control Board is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool bottom-mount refrigerators. It serves as the electronic control module located inside the unit.
Symptoms of a malfunctioning control board include:
- Failure to achieve proper refrigerator and freezer temperatures
- Sensors, displays, or timers showing inaccurate readings
- Unpredictable fluctuations in cooling performance
- Inability to adequately regulate humidity levels
Causes of a bad electronic control module often include failure of internal temperature or humidity sensors over extended use. Exposure to rapid fluctuations in conditions inside the fridge can potentially damage circuitry.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators.
