Description

This is the Enter button used on the appliance control panel to confirm selections and start keypad commands. It restores normal keypad operation when the original enter key is cracked, worn, or missing. What it does:

• Provides a tactile contact point for the control panel to register "enter" or confirm commands
• Replaces a cracked, loose, or missing enter key that won't actuate the switch
• Helps resolve symptoms like an unresponsive enter key or inability to confirm selections
• Works with the existing control panel and switch assembly to restore user input

What's included:

• One Enter button

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the control panel or control board cover—keep track of screws and fasteners
• Replace the key cap carefully; avoid forcing parts or bending contacts
• The underlying switch or membrane may need service
