Manufacturer Part Number: WP8571916

This is a Whirlpool dryer control board and user interface. It sits behind the outer control panel on top of the dryer and manages and monitors the dryer's cycles based on user input. The control board can short out due to power surge or exposure to excessive heat or moisture. If the dryer's display is showing error code F-02, if the display is blank or dark, or if it is not responding to user input, the control board has likely shorted out.Before installing this part, be sure to cut power to the appliance and allow it to cool completely. The dryer will need to be pulled away from the wall to access the screws holding the outer control panel in place. Remove the screws from each side of the control panel to gain access to the old control board. Disconnect any wire harnesses connected to it and remove any screws mounting it in place before installing the new part.This is a genuine OEM part compatible with dryers manufactured by Whirlpool brands, including Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and others. This product contains no additional parts or hardware.

Hello Bret. Sorry, but kenmore does not offer manuals for their units. You will need to remove the power and remove the top panel off the unit. Then remove the screws for the control panel and unsnap it from the cabinet. Now you can access and replace the control board WP8571916 on the unit. These are not to hard to replace, just take your time and make sure you put the wires in the proper location they go into.
