Customer Questions and Answers for Control Panel (Console Assembly) by Whirlpool

Replacement control panel assembly that houses the appliance's user interface, buttons and display, restoring reliable control of cycle selection, options and status readouts. Use this genuine-style panel to replace a cracked, unresponsive, or faded console. What it does:

• Provides the front console with tactile buttons/touch areas and status display for selecting cycles and options.
• Sends user commands to the main control board so the appliance can start and change settings.
• Common symptoms this part addresses: unresponsive or stuck buttons, blank or unreadable display, or controls that won't change cycles or options.
• Designed as a direct-replacement console assembly (electrical connections and mounting points match OEM specifications).

• Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting repair.
• Handle the panel and its display gently to avoid damaging buttons or the overlay.
• Installation typically requires removing the console screws and unplugging the wire harness; keep track of fasteners and connector orientation.
