The Control Panel is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool electric ranges. Found at the front-facing edge of the cooktop, the control panel contains electronic interfaces that operate the various surface and oven functions.

Composed of a durable stainless steel exterior with sealed membrane switches mounted behind, the control panel houses circuit boards that receive input signals to ignite burners and initiate oven cycles. Indicator lights and digital displays provide function feedback. 

Causes of a bad control panel include moisture intrusion over years of use degrading connections or printed circuits. Accidental surface impacts could also damage underlying switches or crack the sealing.

Symptoms of a bad control panel include:

• Unresponsive control touches or stuck buttons
• Flickering or non-functional knobs  
• Error messages on oven displays

Compatible with additional brands including KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore electric range models.

This control panel is the user-facing console that houses the oven/range controls and display, restoring clear button access and readable status feedback. Replace a damaged or unresponsive console to regain normal control operation. What it does:

• Provides the touchpad/buttons and display used to set temperatures, timers, and modes.
• Sends user commands to the oven/range electronic control so selections start the appliance.
• Replaces a cracked, faded, or physically damaged panel to restore usable controls.
• Helps address symptoms like unresponsive buttons, unreadable display, or intermittent control behavior.

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit breaker) before starting repair.
• Handle the display and electronic interfaces carefully; avoid bending or stressing the panel.
• Installation typically requires removing trim or console screws and transferring any mounting hardware or connectors.

The Range Infinite Control Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. This switch is used to control the heat levels of the surface burners, allowing for precise temperature adjustments. It works by regulating the electrical current that flows to the burner elements, enabling users to set the burners to their desired heat setting from low to high.

Symptoms of a failing Range Infinite Control Switch include:

• The burner not heating up or getting too hot regardless of the setting
• Inconsistent or fluctuating heat levels
• The control knob feeling loose or not turning smoothly
• The burner not turning on or off properly
• Electrical sparking or unusual noises from the control switch area

Causes of a bad infinite control switch can include wear and tear from regular use, internal electrical failures, damage from overheating, or mechanical issues within the switch mechanism.

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

The Infinite Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This part controls the temperature of the small burner on electric ranges and cooktops by regulating the power supplied to the burner. The infinite switch allows for precise temperature settings, providing the flexibility to cook a wide variety of dishes by adjusting the heat level as needed. 

Over time, infinite switches can wear out or malfunction, leading to issues with controlling the burner's temperature.  

Symptoms of a bad Infinite Switch include:

• The burner does not heat or heats intermittently
• The burner heats to full power regardless of the setting
• Inability to adjust the burner's temperature accurately
• Physical damage to the switch, such as cracking or melting

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

This upper electrical cover protects and conceals the appliance's control box and wiring, helping keep electrical components safe from dust and accidental contact. It restores a finished appearance and supports secure mounting of the console area. What it does:

• Covers and shields the control box and wiring from dust, debris and accidental contact.
• Helps keep electrical connections secure by providing a proper mounting surface for the console.
• Restores the appliance's exterior appearance when the original cover is cracked, warped or missing.
• Reducing exposed components can help avoid nuisance issues like loose connectors or intermittent controls.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off the breaker) before starting any work.
• Handle panels carefully — metal edges can be sharp; wear gloves if needed.
• Keep original screws/fasteners or replace with equivalent OEM screws; verify alignment before tightening.

This electronic control board is the appliance's brain, processing inputs from the user controls and sensors to power components as designed. Replacing a failed board restores accurate cycle timing, responsive controls, and reliable operation. What it does

• Coordinates cycle timing and routes power to components based on the selected settings
• Interprets inputs from sensors and the user interface to control operation
• Helps resolve issues such as unresponsive controls, won't start, won't advance/complete the cycle, or recurring error codes
• Controls relays that switch loads like motors, pumps, fans, valves, and heaters

• 1 electronic control board

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the breaker before service
• Use ESD precautions; handle the board by the edges and avoid touching soldered components
• Photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board; ensure each locks fully
• Reuse any brackets/covers from the original board; the model's tech sheet for any post-install diagnostics or configuration steps if applicable

The Oven Control Board is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. It works to power bake/broil cycles, signals burners to ignite and coordinates the various heating elements, fans, and temperature sensors that allow the range to precisely cook and bake.

Causes of a bad Oven Control Board can include damage from power surges, water leaks or spills that corrode circuits over time, or failures in electronic components like printed circuit boards.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Control Board include:

• Burners or heating elements not working properly
• Inability to regulate or maintain set oven temperatures
• Error codes displayed on the control panel
• Unresponsive or malfunctioning controls and dials
• Dangerous arcing or sparking noises from internal wires

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