Whirlpool Control Panel (W11135391)

The Whirlpool Control Panel is the user interface for a Whirlpool appliance. It houses the buttons or touch controls and often the display. It sends your selections to the main control so the appliance can start, stop, and run the chosen cycle. It may also show status, time, and error codes.

Failure can come from moisture intrusion, heat, and normal wear on the keypad or touch membrane. Power surges can damage internal electronics. Heavy use can also cause worn contacts, cracked solder joints, or a dim or dead display. Cleaning sprays that seep into seams can lead to stuck keys or unresponsive touch areas.

These symptoms can help you decide if a control panel replacement matches your issue:

• Buttons do not respond, respond only sometimes, or require extra pressure
• Touchpad areas do not register taps, or register the wrong selection
• Display is blank, flickers, is dim, or shows missing segments
• Keys act stuck, beep on their own, or change settings without input
• Cycle will not start even though power is on and the door or lid is closed
• Error codes appear that point to a user interface or keypad input problem
