Parts for Whirlpool UMV1160CB5: Control Panel Parts

This control panel is the exterior console that houses the user controls and display, restoring clean, responsive operation and readable indicators for the appliance. It provides the interface you use to select cycles, settings, and start functions. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, cracked, or unresponsive console so buttons and displays work reliably
• Restores visible cycle/status indicators and button labels for normal operation
• Helps resolve symptoms like unrecognized button presses, missing display segments, or cosmetic damage to the front control area
• Works with the appliance's existing electronics and mounting hardware when the correct OEM part is used

• One control panel/console

• Refer to the wiring diagram and disconnect power before starting
• Some models require removal of the outer cabinet or console bezel to access mounting screws and connectors
• Handle the panel carefully to avoid scratching the finish or damaging attached wiring and connectors
• If the panel connects to a separate electronic control board, verify connectors seat fully and clips engage during reassembly

Note: If your original control board had a P4 connector for the thermistor, this new board has it integrated internally so the original thermistor connection is no longer necessary. It can be left unconnected in the microwave cavity.

The Electronic Control Board is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It manages and regulates the microwave's functions, including power levels, cooking times, and various preset options. This control board is essential for ensuring accurate operation and user control over the microwave's features.

Causes of a bad control board can include power surges, electrical shorts, moisture exposure, or general wear and tear over time. These factors can damage the circuitry and components of the board, leading to malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad electronic control board include:

• Microwave not starting or responding to commands
• Display screen not working or showing incorrect information
• Inability to select or change cooking settings
• Microwave shutting down unexpectedly during operation

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