Whirlpool w10757851 Ice Maker Emitter Control Board

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL w10757851 is an ice maker emitter receiver control board designed for use in refrigerators where ice cubes dump directly into an ice bin located in the freezer door. This board uses an infrared light beam to signal the ice maker to cycle on and off based on the ice level in the bin. When the beam is blocked by ice, the ice maker stops production. When the beam is clear, production resumes. Licensed refrigeration technicians and qualified appliance service pros install this component as a direct OEM-style replacement during ice maker diagnostic and repair calls.

This control board is intended for side-by-side and French door refrigerator configurations where the ice storage bin sits in the freezer door rather than inside the freezer compartment. The emitter and receiver work as a paired optical system. Failure of this board typically presents as the ice maker running continuously, failing to produce ice, or overfilling the bin. It replaces part numbers 4389102, AP3137510, AP5956767, PS557945, and PS10064583.
