Your Samsung 4.8 cu. ft. front-load washer's control panel has the crucial job of housing the display and selection components, making it an integral part of your appliance. If your washer's control panel is malfunctioning, replacing it with the genuine Samsung control panel (DC97-18088E) could solve the problem. Remember to unplug your washer and wear work gloves for safety during installation. This replacement part is specific to your Samsung washer model and may no longer be available in the future. Verify your washer's model number for compatibility before purchasing.
