Michael C. for Model Number KUDS01FLBL1 I have a KitchenAid KUDS01FLBL1 that needs to have the Control Panel replaced as the button protective membranes have worn off. All control functions are working. I see that you have the replacement part AP5961570 in stock. From the installation manual I can see which six screws to remove to take off the the full front panel to access the Control Panel but am looking for guidance on how to proceed from there.
Answer Hello Michael. 1. Remove the six (6) screws securing the control panel to the door frame. 2. The control panel will now drop down and be free of the door assembly. The wiring harness will remain connected to the console components. 1. Disconnect the ribbon connector and the wiring harness connectors from the electronic control board. 2. Use a flat bladed screwdriver to depress the holding tabs at the left end of the control board assembly while pulling up. SPLIT CONTROL MODELS 3. Once the Electronic Control Board is removed, a ribbon cable interconnect board is exposed. 4. Unsnap the interconnect board from the control panel assembly W10775980. 5. Disconnect the three ribbon cables from the interconnect board. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, February 3, 2017
