The Control Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It houses the interface used to program cooking modes, set temperatures, and control various oven functions. Over many years of use, range control panels can fail due to heat exposure, moisture intrusion, or broken/worn buttons and displays.
Causes of a bad control panel include cracks around seal edges from thermal cycling, faulty electronic modules in the temperature or function controls, and physical damage or wear to buttons.
Symptoms of a bad control panel include:
- Buttons or knobs that stick, malfunction, or stop working
- Erratic oven temperature control or inaccurate readings
- Failure to properly initiate or change cook modes
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
