W11368839 Whirlpool Inverter Board for Refrigerators

The Inverter Board for Refrigerators is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component designed for use in Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. It is situated on the back wall of the refrigerator and plays a crucial role in managing the appliance's variable speed cooling system to enhance energy efficiency.

Whirlpool's brand portfolio includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Common issues with a malfunctioning inverter board are often due to moisture entering the system, which can disrupt electronic sensors and circuits. Another issue can be overheating if the component lacks sufficient ventilation, potentially harming its delicate parts.

Signs that an inverter board may be failing include:

- Unstable temperature levels within the refrigerator
- The compressor not turning on or off as needed
- The refrigerator's inability to maintain temperatures below a set point
- Increased energy consumption, noticeable on energy bills

Replacing a faulty inverter board with this OEM Whirlpool part can help restore the refrigerator's efficient cooling function. The replacement unit features a ventilated casing and a conformal coating that shields the electronics, extending the component's durability.

This replacement inverter board is also suitable for certain models from GE, Crosley, KitchenAid, and some Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, ensuring continued efficient and reliable cooling performance.
