The Whirlpool WPW10500087 is a replacement control panel for several Whirlpool and Whirlpool-brand dishwashers. This black panel houses the controls and display that allow you to interact with your dishwasher. When a button is pressed, the control panel transmits a signal to the dishwasher's main control board, which interprets it and orders the dishwasher to perform the specified operation. This could include beginning a wash cycle, choosing a specific wash setting, or checking the dishwasher's status. A defective control panel can cause a variety of issues with your dishwasher, including the dishwasher not starting, not reacting to button presses, and flashing error codes. Replacing a malfunctioning control panel with a genuine Whirlpool WPW10500087 control panel can restore your dishwasher.
