Product review (4 stars): No problems but Whirlpool support leaves question unanswered
I have been using this in my dryer for several weeks now, through many loads of drying, and have no problems to report. It seems to be controlling the temperature correctly (I measured outlet temperature and it tracked pretty closely the table that is included in troubleshooting info), and not causing any other problems. I gave it 4 stars not because of anything to do with the board itself, but because of Whirlpool. Their data base says this board belongs in my dryer, yet this is not the board that I removed from my dryer. Whirlpool support could not explain this. The confusion this caused me and the time it cost me to try to understand which board I should buy should not have been necessary. They should have been able to track how my dryer was built and what was in it by the serial number. Either they couldn't or wouldn't. They should have been able to explain how the "wrong" board could work in my dryer. I finally bought this board on faith, since all the databases said this is the correct one. But the mystery remains: why was a nonstandard board in my dryer and why did it work fine for 5 years?
