Washing Machine Main Microcomputer Control Board

Whirlpool manufactures a variety of brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce appliances for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The washing machine microcomputer control board is a durable component located at the back of the machine's top, near the control buttons and dials. It functions similarly to a timer, coordinating the operation of each part of the machine at the correct times. Sensors provide data to the control board to manage water temperature, as well as the timing for draining, filling, spinning, and washing cycles.

When the microcomputer control board malfunctions, the washing machine may fail to start, or experience issues with starting, draining, spinning, or filling. If these problems occur, the control board likely needs replacement. For safety, always unplug the washing machine before starting any repair. Use a screwdriver to remove the panel covering the control board. Move any obstructing hoses to access the part, then disconnect the wires, remove the faulty board, and install the new one.

This microcomputer control board is compatible with many Whirlpool washing machines and is sold as a single unit. It is an OEM genuine replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer.
