How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the console.

Inspect and clean keypad:

  • Press each button on the control panel individually; note any that feel stuck or do not click.
  • Remove the control panel cover to expose the keypad or UI board.
  • Check for signs of liquid spills, detergent residue, or corrosion.
  • Clean gently with a dry cloth or lightly with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab (avoid soaking the board).
  • Allow to dry completely, reassemble, and restore power.

If the same button remains unresponsive or E15 persists, replace the user interface board.
