The Whirlpool W11088499 Cntrl Elec+core is a replacement part made particularly for Whirlpool refrigerators. This is the appliance's sophisticated circuit board that controls a number of operations to maintain the freshness of your food. This entails vital duties such as regulating the ice distribution mechanism if your refrigerator has one, starting defrost cycles to avoid ice accumulation, and keeping the fridge and freezer sections at constant temperatures. A malfunctioning control board can seriously impair the functionality of your refrigerator. Unusual temperatures inside the refrigerator or freezer, an ice dispenser that fails to function properly or making unusual noises when it comes out the appliance are all indications of a malfunctioning control board.
