John F Sun City Center , FL January 02, 2016 Appliance: Model 665-1609 Control panel on kenmore dishwasher Bought the suspected part from ApplicancePartsPros.Com, found a Youtube on the dishwasher replacement of the control panel. Oops - dropped a screw into drain so had to open that with a Youtube video showing how, removed the screw, replaced the control panel. It seems to work. We had a stuck button, normal wash blinking and not releasing therefore dishwasher did not work. Latches were more difficult to operate to release control panel that the simple instructions. Dropped screw made the repair longer. Put a towel over drain before doing repair.

Neal U Carrollton , GA May 13, 2017 Dishwasher would not run Unfortunately, this is the second time I have had to replace the control panel in this dishwasher. This is a common problem with Whirlpool dishwashers. The last panel lasted three years. I will not purchase this brand any longer. Problems with my Whirlpool refrigerator too. Anyway, I knew right away that the panel had failed again and ordered it in the afternoon. Much to my surprise it arrived the next day with the standard shipping. Impressive service. It only took about 15 minutes to install since I have done it before and the dishwasher is working fine but I'm sure it will fail again in a few years.

Jacob M Summerville , SC July 19, 2016 Appliance: Model 665-16039403 Some buttons and lights did not work on control panel To make sure control panel was the only issue, I ran the alternate test cycle with panel disconnected. It worked, which verified control module was good and all I needed was a new control panel. I tried to order part through Sears, but they were overpriced and would not even tell me the part # I was ordering, which was not on their website. I ordered through Appliance Parts Pros for a much lower price, extremely helpful customer service, and received in a couple days. I swapped the control panel in 5 min, ran the test cycle through display, and everything worked perfectly. Read More...
