How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP4364098 / 6-919836 Panel- Con

I replaced the control panel. 

Tools Needed: Star head driver & hex nut driver 1) Turn off power at circuit breaker 2) Remove door inner cover screws and separate (Star driver) 3) Remove Op panel screws & let hang but supported (hex driver) 4) Remove hex screw on PCB cover (cable connection ) 5) Slide connector toward you to remove old flat cable (remove old Op panel) 6) Connect new flat cable red coat down 7) Reassemble in reverse order Difficultly Level: Easy Time: 20’’ 

Ordered the control panel with the help of wonderful customer service on the phone. It literally took us 20 minutes to remove the old one and install the new one. Most of the time was removing and replacing screws, which you will need T20 Torx driver and a Hex Driver to do. I'm 65 and my husband is 76 and it took us no time at all to get this done thanks to everyone's comments here. 

Changed white (existing) panel with a black one. 

This was an easy fix. Undo the inside panel screws , unplug the panel and plug the new one in. Put back together! 

Replaced control panel. 

It was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and the dishwasher control panel would not respond to pressing the touchpad. I went online and found the part. I called customer service to make sure I could still get the part shipped overnight. A very friendly voice said "Yes, no problem!". I received the part the next day and installed it in about 20 minutes. Great service! Thanks! 

Replaced the control panel. Removed the 11 torx screws from the inside front panel. Remove the panel disconnect the two electrical connections to completely remove the panel. Turned the power off to the dishwasher before starting. remove the 5 hex head screws holding the control panel to the front panel of the dishwasher. Opened the power box removed the wire strip to the control panel. Removed the control panel and reinstalled using the reverse procedure. 

First turn off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. You will be handling electrical parts. Easy to remove inside panel (torx, not phillips or slotted heads), did not have to disconnect wiring between inside panel & control unit except ribbon connector. Latch also unscrewed w/1/4" socket head. Had to unscrew inside control box to insert new connector ribbon. The connector on the circuit board has a slide-open crimp mechanism, so it will pull out, but need to slide the outer portion of the connector "forward" to open it, insert ribbon, and slide shut. The latch mechanism wore out along the two hinge pins, where the plastic portion of the hinge degraded over time. It just has two screws then unsnaps from inside the panel, and has two plug connectors. Remarkable difference when replaced with new mechanism. Keep track of all your screws (2 types, remember), screw it all back together in reverse order. 

Watched a couple of videos, narrowed down the problem, talked to some great folks at Appliance Parts Pro and then once the new control panel came in - Easy Peasy! just like the video.... the hardest part was keeping the top and bottom of the door to stay apart long enough to do the job, so I just stuck the silverware tray in the gap and Viola, all fixed! Thanks guys!
