W10898446 Whirlpool Dishwasher Control Panel

Dishwasher Control Panel Overview

Whirlpool's range of products includes brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The touchpad and control panel, specifically designed for Whirlpool built-in dishwashers, is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part. It is positioned at the upper center above the dishwasher door and features buttons and LED displays for selecting and managing wash cycles.

Common issues with touchpad panels generally arise from moisture build-up within the circuit boards, which can disrupt connections or cause component shorts after multiple wash cycles. Damage to the panel’s protective seal from physical impacts may also result in malfunctions.

Indications of a malfunctioning touchpad control panel include:

- Unresponsive or defective selection buttons
- Difficulties in setting desired wash cycles and options
- Display of error codes on the digital screen
- Corrosion of electronic components due to water exposure

This genuine replacement part from Whirlpool is suitable for various models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
