Parts for Ge GFD55ESMN3WW: Controls & Backsplash Parts

This white control panel is the outer console panel that provides the user interface mounting surface and restores the appliance's finished look. It replaces a cracked, worn or discolored front panel to regain proper button access and appearance. What it does:

• Provides the front mounting surface for control buttons, overlays and visual display components.
• Restores a clean, factory-finish appearance when the original panel is cracked, faded or damaged.
• Re-establishes secure alignment and mounting for button/key assemblies and display windows.
• Needed when buttons are physically broken, the bezel is cracked, or the panel no longer holds controls securely.

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off the circuit breaker) before starting any work.
• Remove the console or back access panel per the OEM instructions; keep screws and note wire/connector locations.
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts; plastic panels can crack if flexed excessively.
• If controls or the display still do not function after panel replacement, inspect the keypad assembly and control board—this panel replaces the outer bezel only.

This bracket secures the power/start button to the appliance control panel so the button stays aligned and functions correctly. Replacing a damaged bracket restores proper button fit and reliable user control. What it does:

• Holds the power/start button in place inside the control panel assembly.
• Keeps the button aligned so presses engage the switch consistently.
• Prevents the button from rattling, sticking, or falling out of the panel.
• Used when the button housing is cracked, bent, or missing mounting support.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove the control panel trim or fascia to access the bracket; keep screws and fasteners organized.
• Handle internal components gently to avoid damaging the button, switch, or wiring.

Symptoms of a bad badge include:

• Missing or loose badge that is no longer securely attached
• Faded or illegible print that fails to display the brand
• Cracks or pieces breaking off the badge surface

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

• Helps address loose panels/brackets, vibration, or rattling noises

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working on a washer, also shut off the water supply
