Customer Questions and Answers for Control Panel (Assembly) by Whirlpool

Control panel assembly that houses the user controls and display, restoring control access and readable status information for your appliance. Replaces a failed or damaged front interface so you can select settings and monitor cycles. What it does:

• Provides the appliance's user interface (buttons or touch controls) and display so you can choose cycles and options.
• Shows time, cycle progress, and diagnostic/status messages on the integrated display.
• Fixes symptoms like unresponsive buttons or touchpad, blank or dim display, and controls that don't accept selections.
• Re-establishes proper electrical connection between the user interface and the main control when original panel is damaged.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before attempting any service.
• Installation typically requires removing exterior trim or screws and unplugging a multi-pin connector—handle connectors gently.
• Avoid touching display lens or keypad surface to prevent damage; reassemble panels carefully to maintain fit and seal.
