Whirlpool W10811169 Dishwasher Touch Pad Control Panel OEM Part

This is a relatively easy repair. Here are detailed instruction to replace the Control Panel. Tools Required: #15 and #20 Torx drivers. (Power tools not recommended) THE INNER SHELL DOES NOT HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REMOVED There are 10 perimeter screws that secure the inner shell (#15) to the outer shell and six screws, three on each side (#20). Two of these screws secure the Controller Bracket and 4 that secure the spring loaded hinge to the inner shell. These six screws don't have to be removed. One interior screw (#20) that secures the Control Panel to the Control Bracket. 1. Turn off power to the dishwasher. 2. Open the door all the way and remove the 10 perimeter screws 3. Close the door half way and separate the inner shell from the outer shell. There should be enough room to access the harness plug and the interior screw. If not, gently pry the two apart so there's enough room for your #20 Torx driver, 4. Unplug the harness and remove the interior screw. (Centered just below the Control Panel). Remove the Control Panel. 5. Remove the pull handle from the old Control Panel and install it into the new one. 6. Attach the new Control Panel to the inner shell with the four screws previously removed. Reinstall the inner screw and install the harness plug. 7. With one hand, pull up on the outer shell from the bottom so the shell slides into Control Panel and is flush. 8. While holding the outer shell in place, install the top right and left perimeter screws. You can now open the door all the way. 9. Install the remaining perimeter screws top to bottom. 10. Turn on power to dishwasher. 2.

Looked on the internet, found videos on repair problems, decided what needed to be replaced. ordered a new control panel, replaced and solved the problem.

Purchased a replacement control panel from Appliance Part Pros, took less than two days to ship, and less than 20 minutes to install new part.

With help about this trouble from their pro's ordered and replaced control panel. my daughter is a happy.

Thanks to guidance from the Forum, I determined the problem was the control panel The part is expensive, but a lot cheaper than replacing my 7-year-old dishwasher. Removal and replacement were fast and easy (about 20 minutes), and I did not have to take the whole door apart, just 6 screws on the top, and CAREFULLY popped the new panel in. A little fussy to line up 6 alignment tabs on the vertical plane of the door at the bottom of the control panel and two catches on the horizontal plane, at the door latch but they finally submitted to my will. Now it is back in business.
