This OEM replacement part is a control board for washers. The control board is the main computer that sends signals to the washer to perform its essential functions. If the washer is no longer turning on, spinning, rinsing or draining properly, this could mean that the control board needs to be replaced. Luckily this is a relatively simple repair. To begin, start by shutting off all power to the appliance. Proceed to move the washer away from the wall to gain access to the upper back panel. Remove the upper back panel and locate the old control board. Pull it out of its mounted position and take note of the orientation of the wires attached to the old board. Reinsert the wire harness and individual wire into their correct terminals on the new board. Snap the board back into place and reinstall the upper back panel. This genuine replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brand washers.
