Possible Causes
Faulty start button or tact switch, Child lock function enabled, Door not detected as closed, Defective user interface PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the control panel.
User checks:
- Ensure the door is firmly closed and latched.
- Check the user manual for child lock; disable it if active (often by holding specific buttons).
- Try selecting a different program and then press start.
Hardware checks:
- Remove the control panel and test the start button switch for continuity when pressed.
- Inspect the ribbon cable between the user interface and main PCB.
If the button and wiring are good but the dryer still will not start, the user interface or main control board may need replacement.
