Works as advertised and easy to install.
The window for the temp numbers is clear, where the original seemed tinted; the background of the LED shows through now where it didn’t used to. Not a big deal, though - it’s good to have working buttons again.Be sure to use goof-off or something to completely clean off the old glue from the panel before installing the new one - I wasn’t expecting the old panel to leave as much residue as it did, and I’m sure the new one would not adhere well with that old glue there. Yes, this is in the directions, but do take that seriously!

I was scared of non-OEM, but this product is GREAT!!!
I am always hesitant to buy non-OEM [compatible] parts for something, but in this case it was clearly the right choice. Even though the part arrived in a non-padded yellow envelope (which had me concerned, I was very impressed with how well it was packed. It was taped to a piece of cardboard (with blue tape so that it was easy to remove) and very well wrapped in bubble wrap . There was a warning sticker on it advising against pressing the buttons before installing it (for fear of damaging the buttons).I received the installation instructions via email in advance of actually receiving the part. It was a handful of simple steps with diagrams each step of the way. They do recommend taking pictures of your actual unit before disassembling anything as a reference for putting everything back together. However, it was so simple, and with only 2 wire connections to unplug, I didn't find it necessary to take any pictures.I made sure to do a HALF TWIST of the cable from the keypad before plugging it in. I then re-assembled everything, turned the system on, and everything worked perfectly the first time!!!This was a great purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a faulty keypad.

To twist or not to twist?
Nice cost effective replacement.I Initially put a twist in the ribbon cable per instructions and reviews but it wasn’t functionIng correctly. I got a strange “0f” code when putting it into bypass mode. I could get the heater to fire but the standby and pool light would be on simultaneously. After undoing the twist the keypad and display operated normally. My unit is a H400FDN, I don’t know if this is the same experience for everyone with this particular model but it was for me.On a side note I made my own cover with a piano hinge and sheet metal, hopefully it’ll last a bit longer this time in the Texas sunshine.

and they could replace the part if they thought it was bad.. IMHO Hayward should work with me and ...
Mine had a stuck key alarm after a year. Hayward said I had to have someone come out, I am sure for a fee, and they could replace the part if they thought it was bad..IMHO Hayward should work with me and shipped me the part!!I bought this and good as new. Don't forget read directions and flip the cable!Update 7/22/2015: went out this morning and it had the stuck button issue again! Not sure if the replacement part was defective of If I have another issues..but it was working yesterday when I installed it..I have emailed the seller for helpUpdate 7/27 You may not need this part. The manufacture was very responsive but only said they tested it before they shipped it..I went out today and start trying a few things before returning it..Short story what I found was a small spider web on the control board where the touch screen plugs in shorting the pins. It was so small I don't know how it even made a difference but after cleaning it with a tooth brush works like new again.

Easy install, great product!
Shame on Hayward for trying to rip off customers for the whole assembly when a $40 touchpad is all that's needed.Installation was easy.1. Remove the front cover of the heater.2. Disconnect wiring. Each wire bundle will only fit on the appropriate connector, so no need to label the bundles.3. Remove old touch panel.4. Remove circuit board from the rear (easier than fishing the flat cable through the front!).5. Twist flat cable before putting the connector on the pins.Take note... if you have an older heater, keep in mind that the solder joints corrode and can get brittle. When I set the front panel down on a table, the three pin temp sensor connector broke loose from the board. I have experience in electronics, so I just soldered tracer wires in place and hot glued the connector. If you are a DIY'er, just be careful how you place the circuit board down.

To quote Jim Carey from Ace Ventura: Like a Glove!
My Hayward pool heater had been operating fine for 8 years then this spring... nothing. The display panel was in the standby mode and, despite pressing the mode button, would not leave the standby mode. So I did some research and decided this part was the cheapest, fastest, most likely culprit.10 Mins of work and BINGO! Like a glove. Heater works again. NICE!!! Highly recommend.

Super Easy to Install
It took only about 30 minutes to replace the keypad, destroyed by the desert sun, on my 15+ year old IDL model Hayward heater. Followed the instructions, installed the new unit and it fired up my heater without a hitch.

Temp control does not work
Control doesn't work. It allows me to turn on the pool heater however, it does not allow me to lower or increase the temperature setting. Very disappointed. There was no way to contact the company to address the problem.

Just the thing...
This was an easy repair and it worked flawlessly. I highly recommend this as an alternative to Hayward's ridiculous price.
