It reads input from the temperature sensors and the user settings, then drives the compressor, fans, and defrost system to keep the unit cooling correctly. This replacement control board is FailSafe Certified and backed by a 1-year warranty from Appliance Pro USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eW11226382 was the original production number for this board. Whirlpool now fulfills it with W11293378, and both numbers refer to the same control board - if your old board is stamped W11226382 or W11293378, this part is correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does the W11226382 Fix on a Whirlpool Refrigerator?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis board is the usual fix when a refrigerator starts showing any of these problems:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRefrigerator not cooling or running too warm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInconsistent or incorrect temperature readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControl panel display blank or unresponsive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRefrigerator will not start at all\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIce maker and\/or water dispenser stop working\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDefrost cycle not operating, causing ice buildup on evaporator coils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese symptoms point to the refrigerator control board as the most likely cause - but appliances are complex systems, and the same symptoms can occasionally stem from a sensor, switch, wiring harness, or motor issue. If a technician has identified the control board, or you've ruled out those components yourself, this board is your fix. When in doubt, contact us before you order - we're happy to walk you through some troubleshooting, and a photo of your board is usually all we need. A diagnosis from a local appliance technician works too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do I Know If This Is the Right Board for My Refrigerator?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you order, check the sticker on your existing board rather than just the fridge model number. Unplug the unit, pull out the access panel at the back or top of the cabinet, and read the white or silver label on the board itself. If it shows W11226382 or W11293378, this is the correct replacement. Your Whirlpool refrigerator part number is on the sticker on the original board - look for the W10 or WPW10 prefix. This listing is for revision B - the sticker should read W11226382 Rev B. A different revision letter can be a different board, so match it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther part numbers used for this board:\u003c\/strong\u003e W11293378.

It also manages timing for the automatic defrost cycle, which keeps frost from building up on the evaporator coils.
