Whirlpool Dryer Control Board W11525996

When your Whirlpool or Maytag dryer stops responding to controls, runs continuously, or won’t start a cycle, the control board is the most common cause. The W11525996 is the genuine OEM electronic control board that manages all dryer functions — cycle selection, heat levels, timing, and sensor inputs. This direct replacement restores full operation and is the correct part for MED6230 and YMED6230 series dryers. Replaces the superseded part number W11496634.

✓ Installation Tips

Disconnect power before beginning. Access the control board by removing the dryer’s top panel and control console — typically secured by screws at the rear. Photograph all wire harness connections before disconnecting. Remove the mounting screws securing the old board and carefully disconnect all connectors. Install the new W11525996 board, reconnect all harnesses to their original positions, and reassemble the console. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm full operation. If error codes persist after replacement, perform a control reset per your model’s service manual.
