How to Repair Your Whirlpool Gold Builtin Oven Touchpad
The membrane keypad or touchpad is a frequent failure point on these ovens and ranges.
Often the Whirlpool part is no-longer-available or on factory backorder, or just prohibitively expensive. This tip will show you how to save your oven from the landfill!
Note that the replacement touchpad membrane elements discussed in this article are available from FixYourBoard. See Touchpads for a comprehensive list of applicable models and original part numbers.

Step 1. Remove Original Plastic Bezel
- SAFETY FIRST: BE SURE TO REMOVE POWER TO OVEN BEFORE PROCEEDING!
- Note: You are going to re-use the original plastic bezel (aka panel | substrate)
- Remove the front panel that contains the keypad and control board
- Uplug the keypad from the control board
- Remove the control board from the panel (4 screws)
Step 2. Remove Original Touchpad Membrane
- To soften the old adhesive use a heat gun to lightly heat the original keypad from the back of the panel
- DO NOT OVERHEAT THE PANEL!
- Gently but firmly push the old keypad off the bezel by pushing from the back of the panel on the keypad window
- Carefully remove the original keypad element
- Most of the original adhesive should pull off with the keypad
- Rub off any remaining adhesive
Step 3. Install New Ledgestone Touchpad
- Remove adhesive backing paper from the Ledgestone Technologies Replacement Membrane Touchpad Element
- Align and adhere new touchpad to recess in plastic bezel
- Below are examples of black on black and gray on white
- Gray also looks good on bisque or almond
Step 4. Re-install Bezel on Oven
- Re-attach control board to bezel, plug-in new keypad
- Re-attach bezel to oven frame
- Done!
