This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool, ensuring exact factory fit, finish, and long-term durability.

• Part Number: W10731568

• Type: Refrigerator control panel overlay / stainless steel faceplate

• Brand: Whirlpool (OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer)

• Material/Finish: Stainless steel aesthetic overlay

• Availability: Ships across Canada from Appliance Kingdom, Edmonton, AB

• Application: Restores the original look and interface of compatible refrigerator control panels

This part is commonly replaced when the original overlay becomes worn, cracked, faded, or unresponsive, restoring both the appliance’s appearance and control usability.

Function & Importance of the Part

The W10731568 overlay serves as the visible control interface cover on the refrigerator door or dispenser panel.

It plays a key role in:

• Protecting the electronic control board and keypad underneath

• Providing labeled touch/button interface for user controls

• Maintaining the factory stainless steel aesthetic of the appliance

• Ensuring proper alignment and sealing of the control panel area

Because this overlay directly interfaces with the control system, OEM precision matters. Even slight dimensional differences in aftermarket overlays can cause:

• Misaligned buttons

• Poor tactile response

• Improper sealing against moisture or cleaning exposure

• Premature wear of the control board beneath

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

If your refrigerator overlay is failing, you may notice:

• Buttons becoming unresponsive or inconsistent

• Peeling, fading, or worn stainless steel finish

• Cracks or physical damage on the control panel face

• Water or moisture entering the control interface area

• Difficulty reading labels or symbols on the panel

• Intermittent control issues linked to worn overlay contact points

Will replacing this part fix my issue?

If your problem is related to damaged, worn, or malfunctioning overlay interface, replacing the W10731568 overlay will typically restore:

• Proper button response

• Clean control panel appearance

• Reliable user interface function

However, if the underlying control board is faulty, replacement of the overlay alone may not resolve electrical issues.

Before ordering:

• Always verify your appliance model number

• Confirm your existing overlay part number matches W10731568
