The touchpad and control panel of Whirlpool's built-in dishwashers, located prominently at the appliance's front, provide essential functions. Users can select wash cycles through its buttons and monitor progress via its indicator lights. This Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part is designed to be compatible with several brands within the Whirlpool group, such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral.
