Whirlpool WPW10135090 Electronic Control Board OEM Part

Replaced power control board.

Replaced control board. It took less than 15 minutes. Old board came right out(it took a moment to figure out how to remove the board from the mount). Opened up fridge, lights came on, temp controls are working again.

We ordered a new motherboard and my husband replaced it. The part was ordered on a Friday afternoon and we had the part Tuesday - very fast service.

We had been told Whirlpool had "sold" the patent for that control board to a Japanese company that was wiped out in the Fuaeshma (spelling?) disaster . However, I recently found the AppliancePartsPros.com site on line , ordered the part and when it arrived, went on line reviewed the video, and my husband successfully installed the board in about 8 minutes. Is has been working beautifully since then. We still are working on trying to get the ice maker to start working again and may have to get a new part for that as soon as my husband can get the time to complete the check list for trouble shooting the ice maker.. In the meantime, it is so nice to have the lights on and know the appliance is no longer making sound like it is struggling to work.

Replaced the bad board–works like a champ now. The bad trace led to the lights in the interior of the fridge side, the freezer side still worked fine, but finding the butter in the dark was not acceptable. The new board seems substantially different, presumably it's a remanufactured or revised board design, which I'm hoping will not suffer a similar burn-out. The Fridge is from 2004, so I'd say the first board had served long enough.
