Possible Causes

Worn tact switches on PCB, Loose control panel connector, Cracked solder joints, Moisture ingress into fascia

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

Inspect fascia: Check for signs of moisture or detergent spills. Dry thoroughly if damp.
Reseat connectors: Remove the control panel and reseat the ribbon cable or harness to the main PCB.
Check for cracked joints: Examine the back of the control PCB for cracked solder around buttons or connectors. Re-solder if you are competent, or replace the panel.
Replace worn buttons: If specific buttons fail, the tact switches may need replacement or the entire control PCB swapped.
