How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the control panel or door switch.

  • Check child lock: Refer to the user manual to see if a child lock icon is displayed. Disable the lock by holding the specified button combination.
  • Verify door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Inspect the door switch actuator and listen for a click when closing.
  • Test door switch: Access the door switch from behind the front panel. Test for continuity when the door is closed. Replace if faulty.
  • Inspect start button: Remove the control panel and test the start button or switch for continuity when pressed. Replace the button or UI board if defective.
  • PCB input check: If switches are good, the main PCB input circuit may be defective and require replacement.
