W11158453 Whirlpool Electronic Main Control Board

The Electronic Main Control Board is a crucial component for Whirlpool clothes dryers, functioning as the central command center. It ensures that various cycles operate smoothly by sending signals to the dryer's mechanical and electronic parts. This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is also compatible with certain models from Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana.

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under different brand names including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

The deterioration of a control board can occur due to several factors. Moisture can cause corrosion of its connections, and power surges might damage the memory retention capabilities over time. Such issues can lead to disruptions in the appliance's functionality.

Common signs of a failing control board are:
- Error codes that interrupt operations.
- Certain dryer settings or cycles becoming non-functional.
- Overall mechanical operations failing to execute correctly.

Understanding these symptoms can help in identifying issues early and maintaining the dryer's efficiency.
