The Oven Membrane Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It serves as the interface for selecting and controlling various cooking functions. The membrane switch panel responds to touch inputs, allowing users to set temperatures, timers, and other oven settings efficiently.
Over time, the membrane switch can become faulty due to regular wear and tear, exposure to heat and moisture, or accidental damage. These factors can lead to malfunctions in the touchpad or its responsiveness.
Symptoms of a bad membrane switch include:
- Unresponsive or intermittent touch controls
- Error codes displayed on the oven
- Inability to set or adjust cooking functions
- Some buttons not working at all
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
