How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the console or touching internal components.
- Check for stuck buttons: Press each button on the control panel several times. If any button feels stuck or does not click, gently work it free. Wipe the panel with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Power reset: Leave the dryer unplugged for 5–10 minutes, then plug it back in and see if the code clears.
- Inspect the console: Remove the console back cover. Locate the ribbon cable between the user interface (UI) and the main control board. Disconnect and reconnect the ribbon to clean the contacts.
- Look for moisture or corrosion: If there are signs of liquid intrusion or corrosion on the UI board, the console assembly should be replaced.
- Replace the user interface if needed: Transfer any knobs or trim, mount the new UI, reconnect the ribbon cable, reassemble the console, and test all buttons for proper response.
