Amana Control Lock or UI Power Issue

Dryer control panel is unresponsive; no buttons work but power is present at the outlet.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Control lock feature enabled, Failed user interface board, Loose console harness, Tripped internal control fuse

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before opening the console.

Check control lock: Refer to the user manual to see if a Control Lock or Child Lock is enabled. Typically, press and hold the designated button for 3–5 seconds to unlock.
Power reset: Unplug the dryer for 5 minutes, then plug back in and test.
Inspect console wiring: Remove the console and verify all connectors to the UI and main control are secure.
Replace UI board: If power is present at the control but the panel remains dead, the user interface board may need replacement.
