Whirlpool 6-919765 Panel- Con OEM Part

Replaced the control pad , the picture used is not a good picture in that it only looks like a plastic plate, it does not properly show the front side of the control panel. The main thing that was difficult until I figured it out was the last step , once the door panel and control board are removed you are left with removing the control panel. It's not readily apparent how to do it. You easily see the three screws that hold it place but even after you remove those you still find it firmly in place. The key is to gently pull back the thin pad of insulation and also remove or slide the styrofoam pads out of the way . Once you do that you will see two nickel size flat hex type screws , loosen those , one on each side and the sheet of metal that holds the control panel in place will now slide down , so that you can remove the panel and replace it. Other than that the directions are ok and generally helpful. The part was in new condition and worked perfectly.

I incorrectly diagnosed the problem as the control circuit board and bought the board from another on-line store where it took almost a week to receive it. The control panel (# 6-919765 ) was the correct fix that I ordered from AppliancePartsPros. I was skeptical of the reported 1.7 days with standard shipping but I ordered mine on Monday morning and had it on Tuesday afternoon. Quick install by removing the inner door panel, moving the door latch and circuit board out of the way, and installing the new control panel with 3 bolts and transferring the 2 half-dollar size outer door clips from the old panel. The new control panel worked perfectly. These guys are great!

After receiving the new control panel from AppliancePartsPros.com in just two days (much faster than I expected), I found a good how-to video covering my dishwasher on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny8jZEUK5wo) and with that for info and backup, I proceeded to replace the control panel. Took about 1/2 hour start to finish and... solved the problem completely ! The dishwasher now operates like new, with all options available. I figure that the low price for the part from AppliancePartsPros.com, plus making the repair myself saved me several hundred dollars at least. Good part, good price, great shipping = very satisfied customer.

Replaced the control panel with tools.

I checked the power coming in to the unit and checked the door switch with a meter and found that both were OK. I figured it must be the main power board or the control panel. I researched the problem on-line and found that it was a little more likely that it was the control panel and not the board. I ordered the panel from appliance parts pros and replaced it within 30 minutes. The machine took about 5 minutes (longer than normal) to start up but has been working fine ever since. I also realized that this unit requires maintenance as I also found the bottom spray arm was not working properly. In addition, the accumulator filter had to be replaced since some of the film material was not secure. So the pump was basically pumping particulates back on to the dishes and leaving a film.
