The Whirlpool WPW10481113 Dishwasher Control Panel is your dishwasher, and it controls all of its functions. This usually has a user-friendly interface with buttons and an LED display. When you choose a wash cycle with the buttons, the control panel transmits signals to the dishwasher's internal components, instructing them on how much water to fill, the water temperature, and the wash cycle duration. The LED display informs you of the selected cycle, remaining time, and any error codes that may arise. A defective control panel can cause issues such as improper wash cycles, slowing down buttons, or a completely inoperable dishwasher. Replacing a broken control panel with a genuine WPW10481113 part restores your dishwasher's functioning and ensures it meets manufacturer standards.
