Whirlpool Control Panel with Touchpad 6-917720 OEM Part

Whirlpool, an established brand with a diverse portfolio that includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, also supplies products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among their offerings is a versatile control panel suited for various dishwasher models, conveniently located at the top of the appliance door. This panel incorporates a small display and multiple buttons, allowing users to choose cycles, power on or off, and modify settings, thereby ensuring the dishwasher performs the appropriate cycle with selected options.

A compromised control panel may hinder proper dishwasher functionality, resulting in issues like unresponsive buttons or malfunctioning indicators. In such cases, panel replacement becomes critical. Begin by disconnecting the appliance from its power supply. Next, remove the existing panel using a screwdriver, taking care to document the wiring arrangement before detaching it. Proceed by attaching the wires to the new panel, securing it with screws, reconnecting the power, and thoroughly testing the device.

This specific control panel is a genuine OEM replacement, crafted exclusively for use with Maytag dishwashers. It is available for individual sale and is sourced directly from the manufacturer.
