Product Description
The Whirlpool Dryer Electronic Control Board - W11398779 serves as the central processing unit for the dryer, interpreting user selections from the control panel and sending commands to various dryer components.

This electronic control board is vital for maintaining the sophisticated operation of a modern dryer. When this component malfunctions, it can lead to issues such as the dryer not starting, not heating, displaying incorrect error codes, or failing to complete cycles.
