Whirlpool W10870822 Refrigerator Emitter Control Board
Product Description
The Whirlpool W10870822 Emitter Control Board is an indispensable part within your refrigerator's ice maker system. It has been tailored to connect with the ice bin's receiver board to monitor the ice level. Signals are transmitted by the emitter control board via an infrared emitter. As ice accumulates in the bin and inhibits the emitter's signal from reaching the receiver board, the ice maker automatically shuts off to prevent overflow. A defective emitter control board can cause many problems with your ice maker, including overfilling the ice bin with ice, which can jam the dispenser mechanism. In extreme situations, a faulty board may even prevent the ice maker from manufacturing ice at all.
