W11414079 Whirlpool Dishwasher Control Panel

The Dishwasher Control Panel is a key component in Whirlpool washing machines, functioning as the primary user interface. This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is compatible with several brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and select Kenmore models. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for other companies, including Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

The User Interface Control Board is crucial for the operation of the machine as it enables the activation of all control panel buttons and facilitates communication between the washing cycles and the motor control module.

Common issues with a malfunctioning User Interface Control Board may include:
- Non-responsive control panel buttons
- Difficulty in modifying or setting washing cycles
- Lack of communication between the control interface and machine operations
- Blank screens or error messages displayed on the panel

The underlying causes of these problems may range from water damage over time, physical impacts to the control panel, or failures in the electronic chips and sensors that manage input functions.

This part is essential for ensuring smooth operation and user control in compatible washing machines.
