Parts for Whirlpool WDF341PAPB2: Control Panel And Latch Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

The Cntrl-Elec is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. As the control and electronic component, it governs all of the major functions and operations of the dishwasher. The control board contains integrated circuits, microprocessors, and electronic components that facilitate cycles, temperature regulation, safety features, and user input.

Over time, the electronic components inside the controller can degrade or become damaged. Environmental factors like surges, fluctuations in power, and other electrical issues may also potentially cause failure. 

Symptoms of a bad controller can include:

• Not operating or cycling at all
• Inability to start or stop cycles
• Fault codes displayed
• Issues with heating or drying
• Buttons or control panel not responding

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Door Latch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a crucial component that ensures the dishwasher door remains securely closed during wash cycles, preventing water leaks and maintaining the proper pressure and temperature within the tub.

Symptoms of a bad dishwasher door latch include:

• The door not closing properly or securely
• Water leaking from the dishwasher during cycles
• Error codes or fault indicators related to the door latch mechanism
• Difficulty opening the door after a cycle has completed

Causes of a bad door latch can range from physical damage or obstruction preventing proper closure to wear and tear on the latch components over time.  

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

• Receives user commands and runs appliance cycles by controlling relays, timers, and display signals
• Switches power to components (motors, heaters, valves) based on sensor inputs and programmed logic
• Common symptoms: unresponsive control panel, failing or erratic cycles, intermittent operation, or visible burn/damage on the original board

• One electronic control board
