Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the dryer has power and observe whether the user interface powers on and accepts a cycle selection.
- Record any displayed fault code or abnormal control behavior, then consult the model-specific Whirlpool tech sheet before replacing an electronic component.
- With power disconnected, inspect the control-board wire connectors for secure seating and visible heat damage or corrosion.
- Verify the appliance model and the number on the original control board before ordering or installing the replacement.
Pro Tip
Treat the listed symptoms as possible indicators only: drying and starting problems can also originate elsewhere in the dryer, so preserve any fault-code information and verify connections before condemning the control board.
