W11388040 Whirlpool Dryer Control Board

Dryer Control Board

Whirlpool manufactures several brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Control Board is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed specifically for Whirlpool electric dryers. It manages all dryer functions and cycles, from powering the drum to monitoring temperature and dryness levels.

Issues typically stem from manufacturing defects over the dryer’s lifespan or moisture affecting electrical connections. Constant thermal expansion can stress component solder joints and pathways.

Signs of a faulty control board include:

- Cycles do not start even when the start button is pressed
- The door does not lock at the beginning of cycles
- Display icons or numbers stop working
- A burning smell is noticed near the control panel

This OEM Whirlpool replacement control board ensures precise timing and operation of the dryer. Its durable circuitry supports programming cycles for an extended period.

This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, Hotpoint, and select KitchenAid electric dryer models.
