W10870822 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Emitter Board
W10870822 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Emitter Board
The W10870822 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Emitter Board is an original Whirlpool ice-level control and emitter circuit board designed for compatible refrigerator ice maker systems. This genuine OEM electronic control component works with the receiver board to monitor ice levels in the ice bin and automatically control ice production when the bin reaches capacity. It is used in select Whirlpool-manufactured refrigerators, including certain Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, and Ikea models.
Available from Appliance Kingdom in Edmonton, Alberta, this genuine OEM refrigerator replacement part ships across Canada and is commonly used to resolve ice maker performance issues caused by a failed emitter control system.
What Does the Emitter Board Do?
The W10870822 emitter board is part of the refrigerator's ice-level sensing system. The board emits an infrared signal that works with a corresponding receiver board to detect the amount of ice present in the storage bin.
When the ice bin becomes full, the emitter and receiver system signals the ice maker to stop producing additional ice. This prevents overfilling and ensures proper ice maker operation.
Because this component is part of the refrigerator's electronic control system, genuine OEM specifications are important to ensure accurate communication, reliable ice-level detection, and long-term performance.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
A faulty W10870822 emitter board may contribute to:
-
Ice maker not producing ice
-
Intermittent ice production
-
Ice maker shutting off unexpectedly
-
Ice bin not detecting full capacity properly
-
Ice maker overflow issues
-
Ice dispenser performance problems
-
Inconsistent ice-making operation
Replacing the emitter board can often correct these symptoms when diagnostics confirm a failed ice-level sensing system. However, other components such as the receiver board, ice maker assembly, wiring, or main control board can produce similar symptoms and should also be evaluated during troubleshooting.
