This genuine OEM part is a touchpad control panel assembly for dishwashers. The touchpad control panel assembly is the plastic piece that houses the selection buttons of the dishwasher that control the desired setting of the washer. If the touchpad control panel assembly is no longer responsive to touch, it will need to be replaced.To replace this part, start by turning off the power to the appliance. Then take a screwdriver or putty knife to release the control panel from its locking tabs. Pull up gently to pry the control panel out of its place. Once removed set it to the side, and remove the wire harness and any individual wires that are attached to the control panel. Once removed, place the wires into the new unit in their correct terminals. Snap the new control panel assembly into its proper position and restore power to the dishwasher. This authentic replacement part is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually. It is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brand dishwashers.

Bought the control board/touchpad piece. It is a kitchen aide/whirlpool part.
Searched around on the internet and found some videos on how to replace it.

Note: I removed the original piece first and got the part number on it so I made sure that I was getting the correct part (a little confusing because several companies use that touchpad).
