LG produces dishwashers for both its own brand and the Sears-Kenmore line. The Control Panel Assembly, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, is crucial for these appliances. It features touch controls and a digital display, which allows users to manage dishwasher functions and monitor cycle progress and durations.
Control panel malfunctions can result from water exposure due to leaks, typical electronic wear over time, or physical damage from impacts.
Signs of a malfunctioning control panel include:
- Touch controls not responding or behaving erratically
- Digital display issues, such as not displaying information or remaining blank
- Failure of the dishwasher to turn on
- Persistent error messages
This OEM component is also suitable for certain Kenmore models.
