W11443921 Whirlpool Refrigerator Adaptive Defrost Control Board

The Refrigerator Adaptive Defrost Control Board is a genuine OEM part compatible with various Whirlpool refrigerator models. Whirlpool's brand portfolio includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. The control board serves as the primary processor, managing and monitoring the appliance's operations.

Common reasons for control board malfunction may involve moisture damaging the circuits over time or typical wear and tear on the components. Refrigerator control boards are subjected to intense electrical activity and frequent switching, which can impact their longevity.

Indications of a malfunctioning control board are varied and include:

- Lights failing to turn on or displaying error messages
- The refrigerator not keeping the set temperatures
- Non-operation of critical refrigeration elements such as fans, compressors, and defrost heaters
- The appliance switching to diagnostic or alarm modes and not functioning as expected

This control board is also suitable for use with other brands in the Whirlpool family, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some models of Kenmore.
