WW01L01703 GE Washer IML Assembly and Backsplash – Fix Your Washer With Faded Controls, Peeling Graphics, or Unresponsive Buttons

The complete fix for a GE washer with faded, peeling, or worn control panel graphics, unresponsive buttons, or a damaged backsplash console.

The IML (In-Mold Labeling) assembly is the front panel overlay that contains the printed graphics, button labels, and touchpad membrane for your washer's control panel. Over time, heat, moisture, cleaning chemicals, and daily use cause the graphics to fade, peel, crack, or become illegible — making it impossible to see cycle options or select the right settings.

Common symptoms: faded or worn control panel graphics, unresponsive buttons, peeling or bubbling overlay, illegible cycle labels, damaged backsplash console, buttons don't respond when pressed.

Why it fails: The overlay deteriorates from constant exposure to heat from the washer, moisture from steam and humidity, cleaning chemicals that break down the adhesive and graphics, and daily wear from pressing buttons. Eventually the graphics fade to the point where you can't read them, the overlay peels away from the panel, or the touchpad membrane fails causing buttons to stop responding.

How to diagnose: If your washer's control panel looks worn out, you can't read the cycle labels anymore, the overlay is peeling or bubbling, or buttons don't respond when pressed — this replacement panel restores a like-new appearance and reliable button response.
