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

This control panel is the appliance's front user console that holds the touchpad, buttons and display so you can select cycles and view status. Replacing a damaged or unresponsive panel restores normal control and readouts. What it does:

• Houses the touchpad/buttons and display used to set cycles and options
• Sends user commands to the main control board so the appliance responds to selections
• Replaces panels showing cracked buttons, faded labels, or stuck keys
• Helps address symptoms like unresponsive controls, erratic behavior, or a blank/partial display

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any work
• Handle the display and ribbon/connector gently; avoid bending contacts
• May require removing outer console or trim; keep screws and clips organized
