Whirlpool Range vent hood touchpad doesn't work

When your Whirlpool range vent hood touchpad doesn't work, the touchpad is the most likely cause, especially when some keypad buttons respond but others do not. A defective user control and display board can produce the same symptom, so check the touchpad and more commonly defective parts before replacing the board. If none of the buttons work, the main control board may be defective. Also check for an incoming power problem: confirm the circuit breaker has not tripped, or test the accessible wall outlet with a small appliance if your Whirlpool range vent hood plugs in. If power is reaching the vent hood but the controls remain unresponsive, the control board may need replacement. When the buttons are attached directly to the control board, replace that board; if the vent hood has a separate touchpad, replacing both parts may be a good idea. These checks can help diagnose a range vent hood touchpad not working, range hood controls not working, or a control panel that is not responding. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement touchpad, user control and display board, main control board, or control panel for your Whirlpool range vent hood.

04 - Incoming Power Problem

Vent hoods are typically hardwired to the circuit breaker box, but they can also be plugged into a wall outlet behind the cover panel. In either case, it may be difficult to test the incoming power to the vent hood without removing a large cover panel. If the unit is plugged into an accessible wall outlet you can plug another small appliance into the outlet to confirm there is power. If you cannot access the incoming power connection easily, confirm the circuit breaker suppling power to the vent hood has not tripped.

05 - Whirlpool Range Vent Hood Control Board

Most range vent hood control boards have the buttons attached to the board. If you've determined that power is reaching the board, then it's likely the control board is defective and will need to be replaced. If there is a separate touchpad, it would be a good idea to replace both the control board and touchpad at the same time.
