How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the control console.
- Check for control lock: Ensure the control lock feature is not enabled.
- Inspect panel for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or spills. Allow the panel to dry completely.
- Reseat ribbon cable: Disconnect and reconnect the ribbon cable between the UI and main board.
- Test specific buttons: If only certain buttons fail, the membrane or touchpad is likely worn and the UI board should be replaced.
