Possible Causes
Software freeze, Stuck button, Faulty UI PCB, Damaged ribbon cable to main board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the control panel.
- Power cycle: Disconnect power for 5–10 minutes, then reconnect and test. This can clear a software freeze.
- Check for child lock: Look for a lock icon on the display. Disable child lock per the user manual.
- Inspect buttons: Press each button to ensure it moves freely. A stuck button can lock the interface.
- Access UI board: Remove the control panel and inspect the UI PCB and ribbon cable. Reseat the cable and check for damage.
- Replace UI board: If the panel remains unresponsive, the UI PCB is likely faulty and should be replaced.
