Dryer display and lights work, but there is no response to button presses or the controls are locked.

Safety first: If you need to remove the console, unplug the dryer first.

Step-by-step checks:

• Control lock: Check the user manual for the Control Lock feature. Typically, pressing and holding a specific button (e.g., "Control Lock" or a combination) for 3–5 seconds will toggle the lock.
• Stuck buttons: If certain buttons feel stuck, gently clean around them with a slightly damp cloth. Do not allow liquid to enter the panel.
• UI board: If the lock cannot be cleared and buttons remain unresponsive, the user interface board may be defective and require replacement.

Note: Always verify that the child lock is not engaged before assuming a hardware fault.
