This component is a control panel used on many dishwashers. It sits at the top of the dishwasher door and includes a small display window. The control panel has several buttons for users to select a cycle, turn on and off the dishwasher, and change the options for the appliance. The basic responsibility of the control panel is to ensure the appliance goes through the correct cycle with the right options to meet the needs of a user.If the control panel is damaged, it may cause the dishwasher to stop running. It can create sticky keys or cause the lights to blink or turn off completely. If the control panel is no longer working, it should be replaced. Make sure the dishwasher is disconnected from power. Use a screwdriver to remove the control panel from the door panel. Let it fall downward so a note can be made of how the wires are connected to the component. Disconnect the wiring and reconnect it to the new control panel. Screw the panel into place, turn the power on, and test the part.Made for use with Maytag dishwashers, this control panel is a genuine OEM replacement part. It is sold as a single component. This part is directly sourced from the manufacturer.

For Whirlpool Control Panel (Part Number: OEM13092483)

Paul for Model Number MDB9600AWS

I just ordere a replacement control panel AP4364158 and installed it last night. On the top part of the control panel there are buttons for the type of cycle and options. The lights on the buttons on the left (type of cycle) DO NOT light up, but they do work since it changes the cycle time on the front of the panel. The lights on the right (options) appear to all work except for one that is titled Extra Hot Wash. On my old control panel this button was Extra Rinse. Do I have the wrong control panel? Bad control board? Suggestions?

Paul. The control panel has been "substituted" by the manufacturer, so the nomenclature could be different, bit the LED lights should still opeerate and illuminate. You'll need to remove the control panel,again Disconnect the ribbon from the control board and trace the silver lines in the ribbon, they need to a solid line the full length of the ribbon, If the traces are dotted, or if there is a crease or crack or tear in the ribbon, it won't work,properly. If all's OK, make sure the ribbon connector is inserted properly into the connector on the control board and locked in place with the slide lock, on the control board. If everything is proper, and your issue still exists, you'll have an issue with the new control panel, and will need to contact the APP Customer Service Team, and order another control panel. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Steve. If it is showing dashes, you will need to replace the latch assembly WPW10130695. If it is not dashes and just parts of the numbers, the control panel 6-917720 will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.

Helen for Model Number Maytag dishwasher MDB9600awb

I asked the first question about this panel regarding where the 'ribbons' connected to the Housing control board. We know where the longer one goes but can't find the spot on the side for the shorter ribbon. Do we have to remove the top of the control board to see it? It came apart when we were trying to install a new panel on the front of the machine. I called the 877 phone # you suggested but they said they do not give technical information. Nothing on the panel lights up with just the longer ribbon attached.

Hello Helen. They both connect to the control board. One is one the side of the board, and the other is on the bottom of the board. Hope this helps.
