Use this guide to replace the control panel of your Whirlpool Duet WED87HED Dryer. The control panel allows you to operate your dryer, select the cycles and monitor the drying time. It's also where the end-of-cycle speaker is located. If you can't set the machine to different cycles, or get it to start, this unit may be the problem. This is a straightforward repair, and there are no especially difficult steps. The control panel isn't the "brain" of the machine, though. The brain is called the main board (A.K.A. Cycle Control Unit (CCU)) and is located inside the machine cabinet. To replace the main board, follow this link.
