Note: This is a partial list. This temperature-controlled drawer user interface assembly is used in many Whirlpool-manufactured premium multi-door refrigerators built between 2015-2024. Verify your specific model number for compatibility before ordering. User interface assemblies are model-specific—using an incompatible assembly will cause malfunction or incorrect temperature control.

Professional: 30-45 minutes
DIY: 45-60 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy-to-Moderate repair (simple wire harness disconnection/reconnection, minimal risk if handled carefully)

Required Tools:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Flathead screwdriver
• 1/4" nut driver
• Needle-nose pliers
• Work gloves
• Flashlight
• Camera or smartphone (for reference photos)
• Anti-static wrist strap (recommended)
• Multimeter (for electrical testing)
• Masking tape and marker (for labeling wires)

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the refrigerator. Never work on the refrigerator with power connected. Wait 5 minutes for any residual power to dissipate.
2. Open Temperature-Controlled Drawer: Fully open the temperature-controlled drawer to provide access to the user interface assembly mounted on the drawer.
3. Locate User Interface Assembly: Look at the top or front edge of the temperature-controlled drawer. You'll see the user interface assembly—a small control panel with touchpad buttons, LED display, and mounting bracket.
4. Take Reference Photos (Critical): Before disconnecting anything, take 20-30 clear, close-up photos of the user interface assembly from multiple angles showing:Touchpad button layout and labelingDisplay screen and LED indicatorsWire harness connectionsConnector orientation and locking mechanismsMounting bracket positionAny labels or markings on the assemblyWire routing and positions This is absolutely critical for correct reinstallation.
5. Document Connector Positions: Create a detailed diagram or written list showing which wire connects to which port on the assembly. Include wire colors if visible. This documentation prevents misconnection during reinstallation.
6. Disconnect Wire Harness: The user interface assembly connects to the refrigerator's main control board via a wire harness or ribbon cable. Carefully disconnect the connector:Locate the wire harness connector at the back of the user interface assemblyPress the release tab or locking mechanism on the connectorGently pull the connector straight offDo not pull on wires, only on the connector housingPlace the connector in a safe location
7. Remove Mounting Hardware: The user interface assembly is secured to the drawer with mounting screws or clips (typically 2-4 fasteners). Remove all mounting hardware. Keep these fasteners—you'll need them for reinstallation.
8. Remove Old User Interface Assembly: Once all connections and mounting hardware are removed, carefully lift or slide the old user interface assembly away from the drawer. Handle gently to avoid damaging the drawer surface or other components.
9. Inspect Old Assembly: Examine the old assembly for visible damage: burned components, cracked display, melted plastic, corrosion, moisture damage, or unresponsive buttons. This helps confirm the diagnosis and identify the cause of failure.
10. Clean Mounting Area: Wipe down the drawer surface where the user interface assembly was mounted. Remove any dust, debris, or adhesive residue. A clean mounting surface ensures proper assembly installation and good electrical contact.
11. Compare Old and New Assemblies: Remove the new user interface assembly from its packaging (use anti-static precautions—touch a grounded metal surface before handling). Compare the new assembly to the old assembly:Verify the overall size and shape matchCheck that the connector location is identicalConfirm the mounting hole positions are the sameEnsure the display and button layout matchVerify part numbers match or are compatibleCheck that all buttons and display segments are intact on the new assembly
12. Position New User Interface Assembly: Carefully position the new user interface assembly onto the drawer. Align mounting holes with the mounting points on the drawer.
13. Install Mounting Hardware: Secure the user interface assembly with mounting screws or clips. Tighten screws firmly but do not overtighten—excessive force can crack the plastic housing or damage the assembly.
14. Reconnect Wire Harness (Critical Step): Using your reference photos and documentation, reconnect the wire harness to the new user interface assembly:Match the connector to its correct port on the assemblyEnsure the connector is oriented correctly (it typically only fits one way)Push the connector straight on until you hear or feel a clickVerify the locking tab engages on the connectorGently tug the connector to ensure it's fully seated and won't pull offDouble-check the connection against your photos before proceeding
15. Verify All Connections: Before closing the drawer, carefully verify that:The wire harness is connected to the correct portThe connector is fully seated and lockedNo wires are pinched, damaged, or touching sharp edgesThe assembly is securely mountedNo wires are trapped between the assembly and drawer
16. Close Temperature-Controlled Drawer: Carefully close the temperature-controlled drawer. Ensure the drawer slides smoothly and the user interface assembly doesn't interfere with drawer operation.
17. Restore Power: Plug the refrigerator back into the electrical outlet or turn on the circuit breaker.
18. Initial Power-Up: When power is restored, the user interface assembly will initialize. You may see the display light up, hear beeps, or see startup messages. This is normal. Allow 10-15 seconds for the assembly to complete initialization.
19. Test Display Panel: Verify the display panel lights up and shows the correct information:Check that all display segments work (numbers, letters, symbols, temperature indicators)Verify the display is clear and not dim or flickeringCheck that the display shows the current drawer temperature
20. Test Touchpad Buttons: Press each touchpad button and verify the refrigerator responds:Press temperature adjustment buttons (UP, DOWN, or +/-)Press mode buttons (Fresh, Deli, Freeze, etc.)Press any other control buttonsVerify each button produces a beep and the expected responseCheck that all buttons are responsive (not stuck or unresponsive)
21. Test Temperature Adjustment: Use the touchpad buttons to adjust the drawer temperature setting:Press the UP or + button to increase temperaturePress the DOWN or - button to decrease temperatureVerify the display updates to show the new temperature settingVerify the drawer compressor or cooling system responds to the new setting
22. Verify Temperature Control: Allow the drawer to operate for 15-20 minutes. Monitor the display:The display should show the current drawer temperatureThe temperature should gradually change toward the set temperatureThe display should update every 30-60 seconds with the current temperature
23. Test Different Temperature Modes (if equipped): If your refrigerator has different drawer modes (Fresh, Deli, Freeze, etc.), test each mode:Select Fresh mode and verify the drawer temperature adjusts to the fresh food settingSelect Deli mode and verify the drawer temperature adjusts to the deli settingSelect Freeze mode and verify the drawer temperature adjusts to the freezer settingVerify each mode works correctly and the display updates appropriately
24. Check for Error Codes: Monitor the display panel for any error codes. If error codes appear, consult your refrigerator's service manual to diagnose. Some error codes indicate additional component failures or incorrect assembly installation.
25. Monitor for 30 Minutes: Allow the refrigerator to operate for 30 minutes. Monitor the user interface assembly for:Stable display operationResponsive touchpad buttonsAccurate temperature displayNo error codes or unusual displaysNo unusual noises or beeping patternsNormal operation of all features
26. Full Functionality Test: Run a complete functionality test:Adjust the drawer temperature multiple timesCycle through all available temperature modesTest all touchpad buttonsVerify the display remains clear and responsiveMonitor the drawer temperature to ensure it reaches the set temperature
27. Monitor for 24 Hours: Allow the refrigerator to operate for 24 hours and monitor for any issues: display problems, unresponsive buttons, temperature control issues, or operational failures.
28. Verify Drawer Cooling Performance: After 24 hours, place a thermometer in the temperature-controlled drawer and verify the actual temperature matches the display setting:If the display shows 37°F, the actual drawer temperature should be approximately 37°F (within ±2°F)If the display shows 0°F, the actual drawer temperature should be approximately 0°F (within ±2°F)If the actual temperature differs significantly from the display setting, there may be a problem with the temperature sensor or refrigeration system
29. Test with Items in Drawer: Place typical items in the temperature-controlled drawer (fresh vegetables, deli meats, frozen items depending on the mode) and verify they maintain the correct temperature and freshness over several days.
30. Monitor Long-Term Operation: Continue to monitor the user interface assembly for several weeks to ensure stable operation:Display remains clear and responsiveTouchpad buttons remain responsiveTemperature control remains accurateNo intermittent operation or display glitches.

The temperature-controlled drawer user interface is separate from the main refrigerator control board—diagnose carefully before replacing. Many homeowners mistake a failed user interface assembly for a failed main control board. The user interface assembly only controls the temperature-controlled drawer, not the entire refrigerator. If the main refrigerator is cooling normally but only the drawer temperature control isn't working, the user interface assembly is likely faulty. Before replacing the assembly, verify the main refrigerator is operating normally: the main compartment is cold, the freezer is frozen, the ice maker is working (if equipped). If only the drawer control is failing, replace the user interface assembly ($180-250). If the entire refrigerator is not cooling, the problem is likely the main control board, compressor, or refrigeration system, not the drawer user interface.

Test the temperature sensor before replacing the user interface assembly. If the display shows an incorrect temperature or won't adjust, the problem may be a failed temperature sensor, not the user interface assembly. The temperature sensor is a small probe that measures the drawer temperature and sends the reading to the user interface display. Before replacing the user interface assembly ($180-250), test the temperature sensor for proper resistance using a multimeter. If the sensor reads infinite ohms (OL) or zero ohms, it's failed and should be replaced ($40-60) instead of the entire user interface assembly. An estimated 30% of user interface assembly replacements are unnecessary—the actual problem is a failed temperature sensor. If the display shows an incorrect temperature, replace the temperature sensor first ($40-60) before committing to a $250 user interface assembly replacement.

Verify the wire harness connection is secure—loose connections cause intermittent operation. The user interface assembly connects to the main control board via a wire harness or ribbon cable. If the connection is loose, the display may flicker, buttons may be unresponsive, or the drawer may not cool. Before replacing the user interface assembly, verify the wire harness connection is fully seated and locked. Disconnect and reconnect the harness to ensure a secure connection. If the problem persists after reconnecting, the assembly or harness may be faulty. A loose connection is the #1 cause of intermittent user interface problems and is much cheaper to fix than replacing the assembly.

User interface assemblies are extremely sensitive to static electricity—use anti-static precautions during installation. Electronic user interface assemblies can be damaged by static electricity discharge (ESD) during handling and installation. Before touching the new assembly, ground yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or wearing an anti-static wrist strap. Handle the assembly only by the edges—never touch the components, circuit traces, or display screen. Place the assembly on an anti-static mat if available. Avoid walking across carpeted floors while carrying the assembly. One static discharge can damage the microprocessor or components, causing immediate failure or intermittent operation. Many user interface failures are actually caused by ESD damage during installation, not manufacturing defects.

Take extensive photos and label everything—user interface wire connections have a high reinstallation error rate. Even though most user interface assemblies have only one wire harness connector, it's easy to disconnect it incorrectly or reconnect it in the wrong orientation. Take 20-30 photos from multiple angles before disconnecting anything. Document the connector orientation, wire colors, and connection position. During reinstallation, verify the connector is oriented correctly and fully seated. One misconnected wire harness can cause the entire user interface to malfunction or prevent the drawer from cooling. Professional technicians spend 10-15 minutes documenting the connection before starting removal—this is not optional.

The display and touchpad are integrated—if either fails, the entire assembly must be replaced. Unlike some control panels where the display and buttons are separate components, the user interface assembly has the display and touchpad integrated into one unit. If the display fails, the touchpad fails, or any buttons become unresponsive, the entire assembly must be replaced. Individual components cannot be replaced. Do not attempt to disassemble the assembly—it will not be repairable and you'll waste time. Simply remove it and install the new assembly.

Verify the drawer temperature sensor location before installation. The temperature sensor for the drawer is typically located inside the drawer cavity, not on the user interface assembly. The user interface assembly only displays the temperature reading from the sensor. If the drawer is not cooling or the temperature is incorrect, verify the temperature sensor is properly positioned inside the drawer and not blocked by food items or ice buildup. A blocked or mispositioned sensor causes incorrect temperature readings even with a new user interface assembly.

Different drawer modes require different temperature settings—verify your refrigerator model supports the modes you're trying to use. Some refrigerators have multiple drawer modes (Fresh, Deli, Freeze, etc.) while others have only one mode. The WPW10769076 is designed for refrigerators with multiple drawer modes. If your refrigerator has only a single temperature-controlled drawer with no mode selection, you may need a different user interface assembly. Verify your exact refrigerator model number and compare the old user interface assembly part number before ordering. Installing a multi-mode assembly on a single-mode refrigerator causes confusion and may not work correctly.
