Dryer control panel buttons are unresponsive or intermittent

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

Worn membrane keypad, Moisture ingress into control panel, Loose ribbon cable, Faulty user interface PCB

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the control panel.

Steps:

1. Dry the panel: If moisture is suspected (e.g., from steam), leave the dryer unplugged with the door open for several hours.
2. Reseat ribbon cable: Remove the control panel and reseat the ribbon cable between the keypad and the UI board.
3. Inspect keypad: Look for cracks or worn areas on the membrane. If specific buttons fail consistently, replace the keypad or entire UI board.
