W10849486 Whirlpool Dishwasher Console

Dishwasher Console Overview

The console, made of stainless steel, serves as the protective enclosure for the control panel on Whirlpool dishwashers. It is positioned at the front of the tub opening. Whirlpool, a leading appliance manufacturer, produces a range of brands including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures certain products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

The primary reasons for damage to the dishwasher console are frequent use, which leads to wear from fingerprints and minor impacts, and exposure to moisture, which can result in corrosion.

Replacement of the console may be necessary if there are noticeable changes in the appearance such as inconsistencies in the stainless finish, visible dents, gouges, or a generally worn or tarnished look that affects the overall appearance.

This replacement part is compatible with several dishwasher brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore models.
