Customer Questions and Answers for Control Panel (Backsplash Assembly) by Ge

This replacement control panel, also called the backsplash assembly, is the structural console on the rear of the dryer top where the timer and switches mount. It restores secure control mounting and a clean, finished appearance when the original is cracked or damaged.

• Houses and supports the dryer's timer and control switches
• Covers and helps protect console-area wiring from contact
• Aligns control shafts through the panel openings for smooth knob operation
• Common signs of failure: cracked panel, broken mounting tabs, loose or rattling controls

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Remove control knobs and mounting screws, then tilt or lift the console to access the panel
• Transfer timer/switches and any brackets from the old panel to the new one, keeping hardware organized
• Do not overtighten screws; verify all controls turn and click freely before restoring power
