Whirlpool, a leading manufacturer, offers appliances through various brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also supply products for brands like Sears-Kenmore and IKEA. The touchpad switch membrane, commonly known as a keypad, is designed for ranges, stoves, and ovens. Positioned at the appliance's center front, this component, consisting of multiple layers, serves as the control switch for the appliance’s operations. It features several buttons that allow users to choose cooking modes, set temperatures, and modify operations.
With frequent use or accidental damage, the touchpad switch membrane may become non-functional, leading to unresponsive buttons or an appliance that fails to turn on or off. In such cases, replacing the membrane becomes essential. To perform the replacement, disconnect the appliance by unplugging it. Next, remove the screws from the back, locate the side tabs, and press them to release the housing. Then, unscrew the base to detach the ribbon connector, and proceed to install a new OEM replacement part.
This switch membrane fits KitchenAid ranges, ovens, and stoves and is sold individually. It is an original OEM part, sourced directly from the manufacturer.
