Introduction

Use this guide to replace the control board in your Whirlpool WRS315SDHW Refrigerator.

The control board processes the inputs for the dispenser assembly and other related assemblies. If your refrigerator is not dispensing properly, or if the dispenser buttons on your refrigerator aren't working, then your control board might be broken.

Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.

Tools

Step 1

Before you begin your repair, perform the following:
Turn off your main water supply
Unplug your device

Step 2

The dispenser panel screws are located under the dispenser as if you're looking up into the dispenser tube (where the ice cubes and water come out).
Use a 1/4 inch socket wrench to remove the two 15.6 mm-long screws securing the two dispenser panels.

Step 3

Pull the dispenser panels straight down to separate them from the chassis.
Remove the dispenser panels.

Step 4

Use a 1/4 inch socket wrench to remove the two 15.6 mm-long screws securing the control board.

Step 5

Tilt the bottom of the control board away from the chassis to release its clips.
Pull straight down to separate the control board enough to access its connectors.
