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

This control panel is the console assembly that houses the oven/range touch controls and display, restoring the user interface so you can set temperatures, timers and modes reliably. What it does:

• Provides the touchpad buttons and digital display for selecting oven or range functions
• Sends user commands to the appliance's control board so cycles and settings start as selected
• Commonly replaced when buttons are unresponsive, the display is blank or characters are missing
• Also used when the panel is cracked, cosmetically damaged, or the control surface is worn

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the assembly carefully to avoid damaging the display or ribbon/connector cables
• Installation typically involves removing trim and disconnecting/reconnecting wiring harnesses; retain all fasteners
