How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the dryer before removing the console.
- Step 1 – Confirm correct part: If the UI was recently replaced, verify that the part number matches your exact KitchenAid model.
- Step 2 – Reseat UI harness: Remove the console and disconnect/reconnect the UI harness to ensure a solid connection.
- Step 3 – Inspect for damage: Look for cracked circuit boards, burnt components, or moisture damage on the UI.
- Step 4 – Replace UI: If the UI appears damaged or F72 persists, replace the user interface/control panel assembly with the correct OEM part.
If a new UI does not resolve the issue, the main control board may also need replacement or reprogramming by a technician.
