How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the control panel.

  • Dry and clean fascia: Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth. If liquid has been spilled, allow the panel to dry completely before further use.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the control panel and check the keypad ribbon cable for damage. Reseat it firmly into the connector.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for signs of corrosion or residue on the keypad PCB. Clean gently with appropriate electronics cleaner if minor.
  • Replace UI panel: If specific buttons remain unresponsive, replace the entire user interface panel or keypad assembly.
