Review on Enhanced Whirlpool W10811169 Touchpad and Control Panel for Improved User Experience by Kendrick Barron

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great for dishwasher parts and accessories

This is the third time I have had to replace my dishwasher control panel in 7 years. This is Revain's first order and not direct from the parts store. I like the dishwasher itself, so buying a $150 part is better than replacing the entire dishwasher. I still wish it wasn't a problem but it is what it is. Something to do with steam-eating wires. Installed, doesn't work, disassembled everything, disconnected and reconnected, still nothing. But then I pressed start without trying to select a program and it sprang to life, all the lights came on and it worked perfectly again. So maybe give it a try if you're having trouble. Note: The model number of my dishwasher does not match, it has never matched these replacement parts. But it's an exact match and it works. Installation is easy, but it's definitely a two-person job. Remove the inner panel from the door by removing all the screws (I use an Allen key and a drill) and then the screw holding the panel in the front cover, just under the panel under the handle (the hardest part because it's hard to get). Remove white connector, replace Requires at least two people to reassemble as you will need someone to hold the panels in place.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Zero
