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

This control panel assembly houses the user interface and electronic controls that operate your appliance, restoring responsive button and display functions for accurate cycle selection and status feedback. What it does

• Replaces a worn or unresponsive front control interface to restore button input and display visibility
• Hosts the touchpad/buttons, status LEDs or display, and connections to the main control board
• Commonly used when buttons won't register, the display is blank or erratic, or settings won't change
• Interfaces with the appliance's main control to send user commands and show cycle information

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repairs to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the assembly carefully to avoid damaging connectors, ribbon cables, or the display
• Verify connector seating and routing of any ribbon cables during reassembly; do not force connectors
• If electronic problems persist after replacement, test or replace the main control board as needed
