Part TypeAppliance Control Unit (ACU) / Washer Electronic Control Board
Common Symptoms
- Controls/display may be unresponsive.
- A selected cycle may not start or proceed normally.
- Washer functions controlled by the ACU—such as filling, washing, draining, or spinning—may not be commanded correctly.
Check Before Replacing
- Verify the washer is plugged in and the household circuit breaker is not tripped before diagnosing the ACU.
- Use the model-specific technical information to check stored diagnostic information and perform the specified HMI and ACU checks; do not diagnose the board from a symptom alone.
- With power disconnected, inspect ACU and user-interface harness connectors for full seating and visible damage.
- For qualified service diagnosis, assess the ACU status LED as directed by Whirlpool: after power-up it should transition to a slow blink; a normally slow-blinking LED indicates the ACU is probably OK and the fault may be elsewhere.
Pro Tip
Do not replace the ACU solely because the washer is unresponsive: Whirlpool directs technicians to verify power and perform HMI/ACU checks first. After an ACU replacement, allow three minutes after power-up for the existing HMI to update before judging operation.
