The membrane switch is the low-profile keypad behind your microwave's control panel. It registers button presses so you can select settings and start cooking. Replace it if keys stop responding or require excessive pressure.

• Converts keypad presses into signals for the electronic control
• Enables selection of power levels, cook times, and options
• Common symptoms: some or all keys don't work, intermittent response, must press very hard
• If the unit won't start/stop from the keypad, the membrane switch may be faulty

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove the control panel to access the keypad; note ribbon orientation and routing
• Handle the flexible ribbon carefully—don't crease it—and fully seat/lock the connector

The Oven Membrane Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It serves as the interface for selecting and controlling various cooking functions. The membrane switch panel responds to touch inputs, allowing users to set temperatures, timers, and other oven settings efficiently.

Symptoms of a bad membrane switch include:

• Unresponsive or intermittent touch controls
• Error codes displayed on the oven
• Inability to set or adjust cooking functions
• Some buttons not working at all

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

Causes of a bad burner head can include clogging from food debris or grease, corrosion due to prolonged exposure to heat and moisture, or physical damage from impact. Such issues can obstruct gas flow and result in uneven heating or poor flame quality.

Symptoms of a bad burner head include:

• Uneven flame or poor flame control
• Difficulty igniting the burner
• Low or inconsistent heat output
• Unusual noises such as hissing or popping during operation

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