Parts for Kitchenaid YKMHS120EB7: Control Panel Parts

Color: Stainless

The Control Panel (Black) is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool microwaves. This component serves as the interface for selecting cooking functions, setting cooking times, and adjusting power levels. The control panel includes the touchpad and electronic circuitry that communicate user commands to the microwave's main control board.

Causes of a faulty control panel can include wear from frequent use, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage such as cracks or unresponsive buttons. Over time, these issues can prevent the microwave from responding accurately to user inputs or functioning properly.

Symptoms of a bad control panel include:

• Unresponsive or erratic buttons
• Inability to start or stop the microwave
• Error codes displayed on the panel
• Flickering or dim display lights

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