How to Replace the CCU in a Whirlpool Frontloader Washer

Nearly every function of your Whirlpool front-load washer is monitored and controlled by the Central Control Unit. The CCU is the brains of your washer, and can cause a variety of problems if it fails. Because of its complexity, the CCU is one of the more expensive components on your washer. If you have to replace the CCU in a Whirlpool front-load washer, you can save some money by doing it yourself.
