Whirlpool Corporation offers a variety of products under different brand names, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper, among others. They also manufacture products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, known as a switch membrane assembly, is designed specifically for use in ovens. The touchpad, a plastic interface, includes the buttons that manage the oven's primary functions. In cases where the touchpad deteriorates and button responsiveness fails, replacement might be necessary.
To replace a faulty switch membrane, begin by disconnecting the oven’s power source, either by unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker. Use a putty knife to gently detach the existing touchpad cover. Carefully remove it from the control panel. Sufficient adhesive should remain to secure the new touchpad in place. Ensure it is properly aligned with the control panel. This replacement component is sold individually and is compatible with ovens from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brands.
