How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the control panel.
Step-by-step checks:
- Dry the panel: If the panel was exposed to moisture, allow it to dry completely. Do not use the dryer until dry.
- Inspect and reseat cable: Remove the control panel fascia and reseat the ribbon cable between the UI and main board.
- Clean around buttons: Wipe the panel surface with a slightly damp cloth to remove residues that may cause sticking.
Note: Persistent unresponsiveness usually requires replacement of the user interface board.
