Begin by ensuring the ​appliance ‌is fully ​powered⁣ off​ and unplugged to guarantee‌ your safety. Carefully remove the control panel cover​ using a compatible screwdriver, exposing the ⁣old control module.When detaching the unit,take note of the wiring configuration to avoid confusion ‌during reassembly. It helps to snap a quick photo or label the wires with masking ‍tape. Gently disconnect each wire harness, avoiding any pull on cords or connectors that ​could cause damage. Once freed, replace the old control with the‍ new 53044527 part, aligning all connectors properly for ‌a secure fit.

Next, refasten all screws firmly but⁣ without over-tightening to prevent cracking the plastic⁢ housing. Before replacing the cover, plug ⁣in the appliance‌ and‌ perform a quick functionality check⁢ by running a‍ diagnostic ​or test cycle.This step confirms each ‍command is properly received ⁢and executed, ⁣ensuring your new control performs optimally.Below is a⁤ handy checklist for this process:
