Whirlpool wpw10481151 Touchpad Control Panel Black

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL wpw10481151 is an OEM replacement touchpad control panel finished in black, designed for Whirlpool appliances. This part serves as the primary user interface on the appliance, housing the touch-sensitive input surface that communicates commands to the main control board. It is a direct factory replacement for the discontinued part W10346227, which Whirlpool has superseded with this updated part number. Installation is typically performed by appliance technicians or experienced service professionals during front-panel or console-area repairs.

This touchpad control panel is suited for residential appliance repair where the original interface panel has failed, become unresponsive, or sustained physical damage. It ships as the current production replacement for W10346227, meaning the original part number is no longer available as a standalone item. Technicians ordering under the legacy number will receive wpw10481151 as the authorized substitute.
