Control panels and touchpads serve as essential elements in dryers made by brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Notably, Whirlpool also manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products. When changing the control panel on your dryer, ensure you properly connect the new jumper wire provided with the 280087 user interface and control panel, especially if the original setup involved a jumper wire.
The user interface and control panel assembly, designated as part number 280087, functions as the central unit for selecting cycles and includes the dryer's display features.
Prior to beginning the installation, make sure to disconnect the dryer from the power supply. It is advisable to wear protective work gloves to safeguard your hands during this procedure.
