Whirlpool WPW10500166 Dishwasher Control Panel

The Whirlpool WPW10500166 is a replacement control panel for specified Whirlpool dishwashers also compatible with other brands. This stainless steel panel houses your dishwasher's buttons and display, which you use to start and monitor washing cycles. When a cycle is selected, the control panel sends electronic signals to the dishwasher's internal components, instructing them on what functions to do such as water loading, spraying, and emptying and for how long. A defective control panel can cause a dishwasher to malfunction in a variety of ways, including refusing to start completely, performing incomplete cycles, or using wrong water temperatures. Replacing a defective control panel with a compatible unit, such the WPW10500166, can restore your dishwasher to normal operating order, allowing you to return to sparkling clean dishes.
