Whirlpool's diverse product portfolio includes well-known brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products. Among these components, the Console is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) piece designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It encases the washer's control panel and digital display, made from durable, UV-resistant plastic that protects the sensitive electronics housed within.
The console might need replacement due to factors like physical damage, including cracks or chips from regular use, which may impair its functionality. Malfunctions in the display or buttons also indicate it is time for a new console.
Indicators of a faulty console include:
- Non-responsive or malfunctioning control buttons
- Electronic displays that are unreadable or not functioning
- Moisture intrusion into the console area
- Noticeable physical damage such as cracks, breaks, or absent parts of the outer casing
This genuine OEM part from Whirlpool is compatible with appliances from brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
