Whirlpool W10810475 Dishwasher Control Panel Touch Pad OEM Part

Referred to technical data sheet included w/ machine. Used tech info and DMM to troubleshoot control panel failure. Actual replacement of the new control panel took a few min. Part arrived less than 24 hrs after order was placed. Excellent service!

I removed the six screws per the video for the electronic control, I replaced the touch pad panel which turned out to be the problem, and the electronic control which I had ordered just in case it was not the touch pad because ApplianceParts said I could return it if that was not the problem. Decided to replace both since I figured the electronic control was the same age and probably was also going to go out. Took about 45 min for both since I did it "twice" to prove which part was broken. I then dissected the touch pad which is made of many layers of materials glued together and found that somehow moisture had gotten into the printed flexible circuit and shorted out the buttons. So before I reinstalled the new one I sealed many areas where moisture could leak into that area with some silicone. That took a day to dry...so I guess one could add that time to the repair.

Removed the 6 Torx screws holding the panel to the door. Removed the 2 screws holding the door closed sensor module. Removed the ribbon pin from the controller module. Used a blade screwdriver to release the clips holding the module in to the panel. Removed the screw holding the upper portion of the door handle. Attached the upper portion of the handle to the new piece. Attached the ribbon connection to the pins and snapped the controller into panel. Attached the door sensor to the new panel. Attached the the new panel to the door with 2 Torx screws. Closed the the door for operations check. New panel checked out, installed 4 remaining Torx screws.

Ordered a new touch pad and replaced it in 15 minutes

My Delay-timer button and most of the left side buttons did not work. I pulled the control panel off and check things out. Nothing seemed loose or disconnected. I ordered this replacement control panel. The part came in 2 days! To Install : Disconnect the power cord . Remove 6 torx screws on the inside, door top and the whole control panel comes off. Unlatch the 2 plastic locks holding the control board and then door locking latch. Slide off the ribbon connector. Control panel is now off. Swap the door handle and install (reverse order of disconnect). - All works well for me. I was amazed at how fast I got the replacement! Thank you AppliancePartPros comes to the rescue AGAIN !
