Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator remains warm or has erratic cooling
• Defrost cycle does not operate properly, potentially causing frost buildup
• Compressor or cooling loads may not start or may cycle abnormally
• Repeated clicking or a blank display may occur when the control board fails

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the refrigerator is receiving power and that the circuit breaker or fuse has not tripped.
• With power disconnected, inspect the control-board wiring connectors for looseness, visible damage, or corrosion; do not remove or modify wiring while energized.
• Use the refrigerator’s model-specific service-diagnostic procedure to check cooling and defrost functions when that procedure is available.
• Before attributing the symptom to the control board, verify that obvious external causes such as blocked airflow, an open door, or incorrect temperature settings are not present.
• Do not perform energized voltage measurements unless qualified and equipped to do so; Whirlpool technical documentation reserves such measurements for authorized service technicians.
