Common Symptoms
- Controls may be unresponsive or behave erratically.
- Washer may stop before completing a cycle.
- Washer may fail to fill, drain, spin, or agitate when the control board is not correctly commanding the related components.
- A damaged board may show visible burn marks or produce a burning odor.
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the washer has power and that the household circuit or breaker is functioning before suspecting the control board.
- With power disconnected, visually inspect the board and wiring connectors for burn marks, corrosion, loose connections, or damaged wires.
- Verify that the installed board’s part number matches W11607637 or its documented predecessor W11578563 and that the appliance model is listed for the part.
- Use the washer’s model-specific service or diagnostic procedure to check stored fault codes and related circuits; a fault code alone does not prove that the control board has failed.
Pro Tip
Control-board symptoms can also be caused by wiring, power-supply, lock, pump, valve, motor, or sensor problems, so check the associated connectors and run the model-specific diagnostic procedure before replacing the board.

Installation Notes
- Disconnect electrical power before accessing or replacing the control board.
- Follow the service information for the exact washer model because access and connector locations can vary.
- Before unplugging connectors, identify or photograph their original positions so each connector is returned to the matching socket.
- Handle the electronic board by its edges and avoid unnecessary contact with electrical components.
- After installation, restore power and perform the model-specific operational or diagnostic test; do not assume the board is the cause until the washer is tested.
