W11116422 Whirlpool Dishwasher Control Panel

Dishwasher Control Panel Overview.

Whirlpool Corporation produces a range of brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. The control panel, a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, is essential for Whirlpool dishwashers. It features buttons, lights, and a digital display for selecting cycles and monitoring the dishwasher's status. The control panel manages the dishwasher's functions based on user settings.

Common issues with control panels may stem from problems with electrical connections or the underlying circuit boards, which can deteriorate over time. Exposure to liquids, through spills or leaks, can also harm the electronic components, leading to malfunctioning buttons or displays.

Signs of a malfunctioning control panel include:

- Buttons that are stuck or do not start cycles
- Displays that are blank or difficult to read
- Problems navigating through options or modifying settings
- Unexpected changes in cycle settings while the dishwasher is running

This OEM part is compatible with various models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore, ensuring broad applicability across different appliances.
