    BRAND NEW OEM W10310240 Whirlpool Maytag Refrigerator Control Board WPW10310240
  • You may have installed the wrong control board. I looked up the control board by the model number you provided and it shows the control board is a p# W10890094. Does your model number have and numbers at the end or is it the exact model number you provided?

But when I use the code 0304 is did not seem to take it. how do I enter the code and end the programing or do I need another code now I have a new HV board. Can you look up and make sure I have the right code. Model Number afi2538aes Serial Number 10579239jj
  • First, make sure you are using p# W10890094. This is the part for the control board that your unit needs. If your not using this part, the code will not work. The code can not be looked up. IT will be the code on the model sticker on the inside of the unit. Below are the steps to program the new board. Programming Mode: NOTE: The Program Code is located on the Serial Plate on this unit after the word Code. 1. Press and hold the Door Alarm Keypad . 2. Press and hold Freezer Temperature Down Keypad. 3. Release the Door Alarm Keypad and wait 3 seconds. 4. The control will display PE to indicate the programming mode. 5. Entry is confirmed by pressing the Freezer Temperature Down Keypad once more. 6. The control will display the current Program CODE. This value should be validated with the Program CODE printed on the unit serial plate. NOTE: If the Program CODE is correct, the Programming Mode is exited by pressing Door Alarm Keypad for 3 seconds. 7. Press the Refrigerator Temperature UP Keypad or Refrigerator Down Keypad to change the digit value with each key press. 8. The decimal point indicates the selecteddigit. Press the Freezer Temperature UP Keypad to select the next digit. 9. Once the desired Program CODE is entered, press and hold the Freezer Temperature DOWN Keypad until the Program CODE begins flashing indicating it has been saved. NOTE:If you attempt to enter an invalid Program CODE the control will not save the new code, but will beep. (The unit will NOT run with a Program CODE of 0000).Once the Program CODE has been saved the Programming Mode is exited by pressing any key. If the new code is incorrect this process should be repeated. The Programming mode can be exited at any time by pressing Door Alarm key for 3 seconds or will exit if unattended for four minutes.

    The original part was not the same number as you gave me. The circuit board shows # Maytag 12920704. the new part was Maytag W10310240A
  • Sounds like you have the wrong control. From looking up the model number you provided, the contol board your unit needs is p# W10890094
