Customer Questions and Answers for Control Panel by Whirlpool

Ronald, To replace the control panel you will first need to shut off power to the unit. You will then open the door of the dishwasher and remove the #20 torx head screws around the inner door panel and lift the inner panel up. You may want to tape it to the counter top to keep it from falling while you are working. Once you get the inner panel out of the way you will then need to remove the latch assembly and control board. On the control board you should only need to disconnect the ribbon harness that comes from the control panel. The control board and latch assembly will be held in by 1/4" hex head screws. Once the control and the latch are out of place then you will need to peel back the foam strip that is between the door panel and control board and remove 4 screws that are 1/4" hex head screws. You then lift off the control panel and install the new panel. Reassemble in reverse.
