W11496884 Whirlpool Freezer Temperature Control Board

Freezer Temperature Control Board

Whirlpool brands encompass Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Control Box, an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators, is typically found inside the refrigerator cabinet, often behind the vegetable or crisper drawers. This box contains all the electronic parts that manage and control refrigerator functions, including circuit boards, sensors, connectors, and other essential components. It supports various features such as the ice maker, temperature controls, and internal lighting.

Several factors can cause a control box to fail. These include moisture damage from leaks, impacts that affect internal wiring, or the wear and tear of electronic components over time.

Indicators of a faulty control box are:

- The refrigerator fails to cool or freeze properly
- Ice maker issues or inability to produce ice
- Internal lights not functioning
- Difficulty adjusting temperature settings
- Random shut-offs or tripping circuit breakers

This OEM replacement part from Whirlpool is also suitable for use with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore models.
