📦 Part Details

- Type: Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Electronic Control Board Assembly
- Replaces: W10919361 (direct OEM supersession — no modification required)
- Brands: Whirlpool

While the control board is out, inspect the door latch assembly and door switches — a worn latch that doesn't fully engage is a common secondary cause of control board failure and will cause the new board to fault immediately. Latch assemblies are inexpensive and take 10 minutes to swap while you already have access.
⚙️ Installation Notes
Skill Level: MODERATE — Allow 30–45 minutes. Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the dishwasher before beginning any work. The control board is accessed by removing the inner door panel (typically 6–8 screws around the door perimeter). Photograph all wire harness connections before disconnecting, then transfer connectors one at a time to the new board to avoid mis-wiring. Reassemble the door panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal operation. If error codes persist after installation, perform a control reset per your model's service manual.

💡 Pro Tip
Before ordering a control board, perform a hard reset: disconnect power at the breaker for 5 full minutes, then restore and attempt a new cycle. A corrupted control board memory can mimic hardware failure and a full power reset clears it — this resolves roughly 10–15% of apparent board failures at zero cost. If the dishwasher still won't function after a hard reset, the board is the confirmed culprit.
