Wml55011hs-2 Parts

The Control Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It houses a digital interface that allows for programming cooking times, functions, and settings. Touch buttons, dials, and LED displays on the panel provide an easy way to customize heating needs for any meal.

Causes of a bad control panel include failures due to repetitive usage over the appliance's lifespan, whereby circuits or connections degrade. Physical impacts or moisture intrusions can also damage electronic components. 

Symptoms of a bad control panel are:

• Unresponsive or malfunctioning buttons/dials   
• Fault codes or error messages appearing
• Inability to start the microwave or adjust times/power levels
• Flickering or dimming displays

This Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore models.

This foam seal cushions and fills gaps around the cabinet or door trim to reduce vibration, block drafts, and help prevent moisture and dust intrusion. It restores a snug fit where worn or missing foam allows movement or air leaks. What it does

• Provides a compressible barrier between panels or trim to reduce rattles and vibration.
• Helps block drafts and limits dust, moisture, and light infiltration at seams.
• Restores proper spacing and alignment for doors or panels that rely on foam padding.
• Commonly replaced when foam is crushed, torn, or missing.

• One foam seal.

• Disconnect power and empty the area if the repair requires panel or door removal.
• Remove all old foam and adhesive; clean surfaces thoroughly before installing the new seal.
• Press or align the foam into place; use approved adhesive if the OEM specifies glue or clips.
• Verify a proper seal and operation before returning the appliance to service.

This deflector is an air baffle that helps direct airflow and protect nearby components inside the appliance, improving temperature distribution and preventing debris buildup. Fits the original mounting points for a correct replacement. What it does:

• Directs internal airflow to help maintain even temperature or ventilation
• Shields nearby parts from heat, moisture, and lint or debris
• Helps reduce rattling or air-related noise when damaged or missing
• Common symptom: uneven heating, poor airflow, or visible broken/misaligned deflector

• Always disconnect power before attempting any repair
• Inspect surrounding clips or screws and replace any fasteners if worn
• Typically installs at existing mounting points;

This electronic control board manages the appliance's user interface and core timed/logic functions, restoring proper control and display operation when the original board fails. It replaces a faulty console control to return normal appliance responsiveness. What it does

• Receives input from the console and sends commands to heating, timing, and status systems
• Controls the display, clock/timer, and user touchpad or button responses
• A failed board can cause unresponsive controls, no or erratic display, or incorrect cycle operation
• Helps resolve intermittent or persistent electronic control faults when diagnosed as the defective component

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Access requires removing the console or control panel; keep screws and fasteners organized
• Handle the board carefully to avoid static damage and contact corrosion; avoid touching circuit traces

This temperature limiter thermostat helps control appliance temperature by opening the circuit if temperatures get too high, protecting components and stopping unsafe heating. It replaces a failed limiter to restore proper temperature safety control. What it does:

• Opens the circuit at excessive temperature to prevent overheating
• Stops heating when a fault causes unsafe temps or thermal runaway
• Can cause loss of heat or intermittent heating when failed
• Often replaced when an appliance won't heat or trips thermal safety checks

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle and test per the manufacturer's service manual; verify electrical continuity before and after installation.
• Use proper tools and replacement part W11213317.
