Professional: 45-60 minutes | DIY: 90-120 minutes | Classification: Medium repair

Tools Required: Phillips head screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, work gloves, multimeter (for testing), camera or smartphone (for documentation)

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the range or turn off the circuit breaker at your electrical panel. For gas ranges, also turn off the gas supply valve at the wall.
2. Allow Cooling: Wait at least 30 minutes for the range to cool completely before beginning work.
3. Remove Control Panel Access: Remove screws securing the back panel or rear access panel. On some models, you may need to lift the cooktop or remove the front control panel.
4. Access Control Board: Carefully pull the control panel forward to access the back of the control board assembly. Support the panel to prevent wire strain.
5. Document All Connections: Take clear photos of all wire connections from multiple angles before disconnecting anything. Label wires with tape if needed.
6. Disconnect Wiring Harnesses: Carefully disconnect all wire harness connectors from the control board. Press release tabs firmly and pull connectors straight out - do not pull on wires.
7. Remove Mounting Hardware: Remove screws or mounting clips securing the control board to the mounting bracket or panel.
8. Remove Defective Board: Carefully remove the old WPW10157246 control board assembly from its mounting position.
9. Install New Board: Position the new control board in the mounting bracket and secure with screws or clips. Ensure proper alignment with mounting holes.
10. Reconnect Wiring: Reconnect all wire harnesses to the new control board, referring to your photos. Each connector should click securely into place. Double-check each connection.
11. Reassemble Panel: Reattach the control panel or back panel and secure with all screws. Ensure no wires are pinched.
12. Restore Power: Turn on the circuit breaker and gas supply (if applicable). Plug in the range.
13. Test All Functions: Test all oven functions including bake, broil, timer, clock, and display. Run a test bake cycle at 350°F for 15 minutes to verify proper operation.

Voltage Verification Critical: Before installing the new control board, use a multimeter to verify proper voltage at the power supply connection (typically 120V or 240V depending on model). Low voltage or power surges can damage the new board immediately upon installation. If voltage is inconsistent, address electrical issues first. Board Calibration Procedure: After installation, many Whirlpool models require a temperature calibration procedure to ensure accurate temperature control. Consult your owner's manual for the specific button sequence (typically involves pressing and holding BAKE and BROIL buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds to enter calibration mode). This ensures your oven maintains accurate temperatures. Static Electricity Protection: Control boards contain sensitive electronic components that can be damaged by static electricity. Always touch a grounded metal surface before handling the board, work on a non-static surface, and handle the board only by its edges - never touch circuit components directly. Connector Inspection Essential: Before installing the new board, carefully examine all wire harness connectors for signs of heat damage, melting, corrosion, or burnt contacts. A damaged connector will cause the new board to fail prematurely or malfunction. Replace any damaged connectors before installing the new control board. Common Failure Pattern: If your control board failed due to a power surge, check your home's electrical system and consider installing a surge protector for the range circuit to prevent repeat failures.
