WPW10677119 Whirlpool Refrigerator Control Board

Refrigerator Control Board Overview.

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. The control board in question is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for use in Whirlpool’s bottom-mount refrigerators. It functions as the electronic control module within the appliance.

Common indicators of a failing control board are:

- Inability to maintain desired temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments
- Inaccurate readings from sensors, displays, or timers
- Erratic cooling performance
- Poor humidity control within the unit

The deterioration of the electronic control module is typically due to the malfunctioning of internal temperature or humidity sensors, which can occur after prolonged usage. Additionally, sudden changes in the internal environment of the refrigerator may adversely affect the electronic circuitry.

Acting as the refrigerator's central processing unit, the control board manages the automatic functioning of essential components such as fans, defrost circuits, and cooling mechanisms.

This specific OEM part from Whirlpool is also suitable for use in bottom-mount refrigerators from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kenmore.
