Introduction
Use this guide to replace the temperature control board in your Whirlpool Refrigerator.
The temperature control board regulates the temperature throughout the refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, your temperature control board might be broken.
This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators. This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.
