The Control Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool built-in microwaves. It forms the interface that users interact with to operate cooking functions.

Causes of a bad control panel typically involve normal wear and tear exposing it to steam and heat behind the outer door layer. Aggressive cleaning chemicals could also degrade sensitive electronic touchpads. 

Symptoms of a bad control panel include:

• Difficulty selecting cooking presets  
• Lights or displays that no longer illuminate
• Peeling or flaking graphics detracting from aesthetics
• Moisture leading to erratic button responsiveness

Note: Right side

Replacing with a Whirlpool OEM control panel restores intuitive usability while complementing surrounding cabinetry. Compatible brands include KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and select built-in Kenmore models.
