The WP8183196 is the genuine OEM motor control board for Whirlpool and Maytag front-load washers. The motor control board governs the drive motor's speed and direction — when it fails, the washer may refuse to spin, stop mid-cycle, display error codes, or fail to start entirely. This is the exact factory part used in original production, available in both OEM/New and Used condition.

The motor control board is mounted in the lower rear of the washer cabinet and communicates with the main control board to regulate motor operation. On Whirlpool Duet and Maytag Epic series front-loaders, this board is responsible for all drum rotation functions including wash agitation, spin cycles, and drain sequences. Failure is often triggered by power surges, moisture intrusion, or component fatigue over time.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my motor control board has failed?
Common indicators include the washer not spinning or agitating, stopping mid-cycle, displaying F-series error codes related to motor function, or failing to start. A failed motor control board often produces no drum movement even when the washer powers on normally. Contact us if you need help diagnosing before ordering.

Is the used option reliable?
Our used boards are pulled from decommissioned units and tested for basic function. They are a cost-effective option for older machines where the repair cost needs to stay low. Used inventory is sold as-is with no backorder availability.

Does WP8183196 fit both Whirlpool and Maytag washers?
Yes — WP8183196 is cross-compatible across Whirlpool Duet and Maytag Epic front-load platforms that share the same motor control architecture. Confirm your full model number before ordering. Contact us to verify fit.
